From Napa’s only Sake and Japanese Whiskey bar, Morimoto, comes the Tequila Mockingbird cocktail.
Check out the full recipe plus more from Bar Manager Josh Weed below!
“I used a combination of Casa Obsidiana Blanco Tequila, Copalli Cacao Rum, Brucato Chaparral and Ramazzotti Rosato with a couple dashes of Peychaud bitters. It is a spirit only cocktail in the vein of a Negroni where a marriage of flavors is achieved using these seemingly disparate ingredients. With the Casa Obsidiana tequila being the backbone, a little cacao rum brings an element of baking spice and chocolate, both notes I find in the tequila itself.
Like a mockingbird that mimics the sounds and songs of many different creatures, this cocktail brings together many different flavors to create a new, one of a kind, cocktail. The world of cocktails is one of constant evolution and it just so happens that Charles Darwin first began to develop his theory that species evolve after observing subtle differences between the different mockingbirds in the Galapagos archipelago.” — Josh Weed, Morimoto Napa Bar Manager
