Cocktail Recipe: Abuela’s Jardin

In Cocktails By

The Abuela’s Jardin is a refreshing cocktail created by Código 1530, featuring their Reposado tequila. The most prominent flavour element of the Abuela’s Jardin is herbal, which is emphasised with the inclusion of Chamomile Turbonado Syrup and bitters. We used the Orange & Mandarin Bitters from Bob’s Bitters which really amped up the flavour. As opposed to the usual blended-bitters, Bob’s Bitters are single flavours, which allow you to really highlight a specific taste and element. The Reposado tequila is based upon the beauty of the Blanco, and aged in hand-charred Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak barrels for six months. This adds complex tasting notes such as toasted caramel and vanilla. 

The Abuela’s Jardin scores a difficulty of 4/10. The ingredients included are basic and easy to acquire. However, you may choose to make the Chamomile Turbonado Syrup, as opposed to buying it, which requires extra time and effort.
