modest mousse

1 1/2 oz Espolon Reposado Tequila (Cimarron)
3/4 oz Punt e Mes
1/2 oz Averna
1/4 oz Pamplemousse (St. Elder)
2 dash Angostura Orange Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Two Tuesdays ago, I returned to the set of online recipe flashcards from Sotto in Los Angeles when I landed upon the rock band meets pun named Modest Mousse. A menu on a blog post put this drink circa 2013, and once assembled, this bitter tequila drink began with a grape and grapefruit bouquet. Next, grape and caramel notes swirled on the sip, and the swallow rounded things off with vegetal and bitter grapefruit flavors.
