CASSANDRA’S RAPTURE
Temple Bar | $14
Ingredients: Mezcal, Genepy, lemon juice, Aperol, Firewater bitters
This original cocktail is a perfect spring indulgence! Served up in a coupe glass, Cassandra’s Rapture is a cheerful orange color, delightful, cool, and refreshing. Don’t let its placid appearance fool you—under a simple garnish of edible flowers, this little drink packs a mighty punch. Smokey mezcal, herbal genepy and Aperol, bright lemon juice, and spicy Firewater bitters come together in the glass to create a drink that tastes like a blazing field of wildflowers. The depth and sting from the mezcal and Firewater are what kept me going back for sip after sip. Pair Cassandra’s Rapture with bites from Temple Bar’s menu that will pick up the drink’s floral and herbaceousness, like the Caramelized Pear & Brie Crostini, the Hot Stuffed Dates, or the Green Goddess Chop salad.
