Tequila and white chocolate are delicious separately, of course; but put them together, and the combination is stunning. I use añejo tequila here with white chocolate syrup, and they work together wonderfully. Lillet Blanc keeps things from getting too sweet, as do a few dashes of Peychaud’s.
Ingredients
2 ounces añejo tequila, such as Tequila Arette Añejo
1 ounce Lillet Blanc
½ ounce Monin White Chocolate syrup
4 to 5 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
Directions
Combine tequila, Lillet, and Monin syrup in a mixing glass with ice.
