conquistador

1 oz Aged Dominican Rum (Bacardi 4 Year)
1 oz Blanco Tequila (Avion)
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)
1 Egg White

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, and strain into a coupe glass.Two Sundays ago, I delved into Steve the Bartender's Cocktail Guide and spotted the Conquistador that was crafted by Sam Ross in 2008. A split base rum and tequila egg white Sour seemed so delightful that I did not bother to confirm if I had tried it before. Alas, I had it from the PDT Cocktail Book, but that was drink was 11 years ago. Revisiting it, the Conquistador attacked with a lemon and agave nose. Next, a creamy lime sip sailed into tequila, rum, and lemon-lime flavors on the swallow with an orange peel finish.
