Board Flipper
[#ad] Today’s next sponsored drink for the @catanpisco and @settlersofcatan collaboration goes out to all the really competitive types. You know, the one that can’t stand to lose, who may even resort to showing their displeasure physically, flipping the game board and all its contents. I admit, I’m really competitive with games, though I can’t claim I’ve ever gone full flip.

I love seeing a cocktail converted into a different style of drink. It’s a fun challenge but also can showcase the original in a new light. As the name suggests, this one converts the classic agave-based highball into an OF-style drink. The grapefruit flavor comes from a delicious grapefruit liqueur, and the lime/citrus presence comes from the bitters. The base spirit is a bit of personal preference (mezcal and/or tequila), just like with the classic. I chose a lovely mezcal that is on the lighter/cleaner side and split it with a bit of reposado for depth and a hint of vanilla/oak.
