3⁄4 oz Solbeso
3⁄4 oz Pisco, Campo de Encanto
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Rose
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
Instructions

Shake, strain, up.

Notes

Solbeso is a dry cacao distillate.

History

Joaquín made this as a riff on the 20th Century and intended to name it the 17th Century, but was annoyed to see that the name was taken by a drink served at another bar (not, as far as I know, our own Zachary Pearson's drink of that name).

  • Surprisingly floral, so much so that I thought there was orange flower water in it. Delicious and balanced, though a tad sweet (maybe omit the simple at home). Solbeso seems like a great ingredient.

Comments

The Lillet Rose and cacao form a great combination with the Solbeso, unlocking some of the flavor expected but otherwise missing from the Solbeso. The lemon juice balances the sweetness nicely.
