tijuana lady

1 1/2 oz Tequila (Olmeca Altos)
1 oz Licor 43
3/4 oz Lime Juice
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Two Wednesdays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and spied the Tijuana Lady created in 2008 by Michael Madrusan at Little Branch in Manhattan. Since Licor 43 had worked well with tequila in the Camerone and I had a few limes kicking around in the fridge, I set to work. The Tijuana Lady welcomed the senses with vegetal agave, vanilla, and mango aromas. Next, lime and tropical notes on the sip twirled into tequila, orange, and vanilla flavors on the swallow.
