guapo buffone

1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila (Espolon)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1/2 oz Amaro Meletti
1/2 oz Aperol
2 dash Angostura Bitters
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.Two Saturdays ago, I found a set of online recipe flashcards from 1 Tippling Place in Philadelphia, and I was lured in by the Guapo Buffone that had the same Aperol-Meletti split as the It Never Was a Cocktail. I was able to find a Yelp menu photo for this tequila-mezcal drink that placed it around 2017. In the glass, the Guapo Buffone offered up an orange, clove, and allspice bouquet to the nose. Next, caramel and orange notes on the sip slid into smoky agave, orange, floral, and clove flavors on the swallow.
