soy capitan!

3/4 oz Espolon Reposado Tequila
3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz Pamplemousse Rose (St. Elder)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Fridays ago, I returned to a 2017 era set of online recipe flashcards for Ward 8 in Boston and landed on the Soy Capitan! I was able to find a mention of the drink in a 2018 Yelp review, and it reminded me of the Mildred Pierce and Erika Marie that pair mezcal instead of tequila with Aperol and grapefruit liqueur. In the glass, the Soy Capitan! showcased lemon, tequila, orange, and grapefruit aromas on the nose. Next, lemon and orange notes on the sip gave forth tequila and grapefruit flavors on the swallow.
