Star of the Bar
Ben’s serves up his award winning Mesoamerican live at Bar Takito. Two of the great Mesoamerican peoples are represented in this harmonious pairing of Mayan coconut liqueur and Aztec chocolate bitters. Color and spice are added by using vodka infused with dried cascabel peppers. The resulting martini is a bourbon-colored elixir with an earthy nose. A taste reveals a warming mouthfeel with notes of coconut, and a wonderful spicy finish that fades to chocolate. Yet another of the great recipes featured in Spirited Seasons.
