The Twisted Swan, a layered cocktail from
Maestro Dobel Tequila.

Last week we published a recipe for True Grit, a bourbon cocktail with Goldschläger—cinnamon schnapps laced with gold flakes—to honor the new film and the Old West.

Today, for your consideration, we present The Twisted Swan: a sinister and sexy layered cocktail from Maestro Dobel Tequila that evokes The Black Swan.

THE TWISTED SWAN

Ingredients

1-1/2 ounces black raspberry liqueur*
1 ounce premium blanco/silver tequila
1/2 ounce amaretto liqueur
Chocolate drink rimmer (or pulverize chips or a semisweet chocolate bar in a spice grinder)

*Raspberry liqueur is also delicious with white wine and sparkling wine. Pour a bit in the bottom of the glass or flute before you add the wine.

Preparation
1. Rim a martini glass with chocolate drink rimmer.

2. Shake tequila and amaretto with ice. Strain into glass.

3. Shake vodka with ice and layer into glass. Serve.

We’ll have more cocktails that honor your favorite films in time for your Oscar party (February 27th—plan ahead).
