Martini
The Saramago Cocktail, from Death & Co., is an ideal late summer sipper.
A martini riff, the Saramago carries that signature Death & Co. je ne sais qoui—a mix of familiar and intriguing flavors that are both refreshing and complex. The crisp blanco tequila sets against St-Germain with its light, floral sweetness. Vermouth brings in just the right amount of herbal dryness, and a dash of orange bitters adds a subtle, citrus zest. The mezcal rinse introduces a smoky undertone that lingers gently in the background, with the bright aromatic finish of a grapefruit twist.
The Saramago is perfect for those late summer evenings when you want something refreshing, yet complex enough to savor slowly—just like you're savoring the last days of the season.
