Two Wednesdays ago, we began the evening with the Siesta from the P.D.T. Cocktail Book. The recipe was created by Katie Stipe in 2006 as she used the classic Hemingway Daiquiri as a starting point. Besides the tequila, Campari, and grapefruit combination seeming tempting, I rather enjoyed the Dutch Flip that Katie created while at Vandaag, so I was definitely willing to try this one.

This one looks like cold strawberry soup. Very interesting, I think that I will try it later.
Siesta looks similar to Tami Lax's Amargo (Harvest, Madison WI). A bit longer on the tequila and shorter on the Juice—"Embury-esque" in that spirit-heavy respect.
I'm looking forward to trying this—as soon as I get some grapefruit!
