Cocktail Description
The Agave Twist takes the honeyed richness of Bénédictine on an unexpected journey south of the border, where it finds perfect harmony with aged tequila.
This sophisticated cocktail balances the earthy, lightly oaked notes of reposado tequila with the herbal complexity of Bénédictine, while Angostura bitters add depth and subtle spice. The result is surprisingly smooth—slightly sweet with hints of citrus, herbs, and a gentle whisper of oak. It's an excellent choice for a pre-dinner drink when entertaining guests who appreciate spirits-forward cocktails without overwhelming intensity. Preparation is straightforward, requiring just a mixing glass, bar spoon, and strainer, making it accessible for home bartenders with basic tools. The Agave Twist pairs beautifully with Mexican small plates like queso fundido or ceviche, though it's equally at home alongside grilled meats, particularly those finished with citrus or herb seasonings.
