The Biz

On a visit to Botanica Bar in North Park, San Diego, I challenged the very talented bartender, Bismark, to create a citrusy Batch 22 cocktail for me. He created this recipe on the spot, and it was a revelation to discover how beautiful Batch and tarragon are together.

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker:
    • Muddle rough tablespoon of fresh tarragon leaves with 2 cucumber slices
  • Add:
    • 1.5 oz. Batch 22
    • 1 oz. Hibiscus liqueur (Greenbar)
    • .5 oz. Amaro
    • .5 oz. Passionfruit liqueur
    • 1 oz. fresh lime
  • Shake for 5 seconds. Add ice and shake for another 10 seconds.
  • Strain into a coupe and garnish with tarragon sprig.
