Our Conquistador is similar to a Margarita, but we’re swapping out the lime juice for Blood Orange Bracer. The Bracer’s rindy citrus tartness and nutty notes compliment the smoky mezcal and marry well with the cumin-heavy Kümmel liqueur and bright notes of the Cointreau. We developed this cocktail for Top Note Tonic and Alcoholmanac magazine’s Apr/May 2015 issue along with some other delightful Blood Orange Bracer cocktails. Cheers!
