spanish revival

3/4 oz Ocho Plata Tequila (Arette Blanco)
3/4 oz Giffard Pamplemousse (St. Elder)
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail glass rinsed with absinthe (St. George), and garnish with a grapefruit twist.Two Tuesdays ago, I uncovered a collection of online recipe flashcards for the newly opened Williams & Graham location at the Denver Airport. The drink I picked off their inaugural list was the Spanish Revival, and I spotted this Corpse Reviver #2 riff on the bar's menu via an Instagram post in June. Overall, the recipe reminded me of the Soy Capitan that I made in late May but with Cointreau and absinthe instead of Aperol. In the glass, the Spanish Revival gave forth a grapefruit, anise, and orange aroma. Next, lemon, orange, and melon notes on the sip unfurled into tequila, grapefruit, and anise flavors on the swallow.
