      Bitter Margarita
    Inspired by the Campari and mezcal-spiked Bitter Margaritas at Walter’s in Brooklyn and Leon’s in New York, our version uses AMBER Aperitivo to layer the lingering bitterness of gentian with tart and woody quandong—a combination that marries perfectly with the deep smokiness of mezcal.

    30mL lime juice
    20mL AMBER Aperitivo
    15mL mezcal
