turniquet

1 1/2 oz Olmeca Altos Blanco Tequila (Arette)
1/2 oz House Falernum (Velvet)
1/2 oz Aperol
1/4 oz Orange Liqueur (Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao)
3/4 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Two Fridays previous, I returned to a Toast Tab for a restaurant that has a bunch of Alcove recipes in the collection, and I was able to confirm that the Turniquet was created at Alcove by a 2019 cocktail menu. With the Aperol and falernum, it reminded me of the Spicy Dead Lady, and with orange liqueur and falernum, it made me think of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Alas, I have no clue why it was not spelled "tourniquet", but the result was tasty. Once prepared, the Turniquet began with an agave and orange bouquet. Next, lime and orange notes on the sip tightened into tequila, bitter orange, and clove flavors on the swallow.
