Well Rested

Finally a chilli and chocolate cocktail that will leave you wanting more, and NOT reaching for a glass of milk. A simple enough mix with only 4 liquid ingredients all of which alcoholic, but measured precisely and stirred for extra stillness. Sometimes less is more and we didn't want the main attraction to be overlooked, I.e like a well crafted Old Fashioned or Negroni. Chilli tequila is a thing and we know that, but house infusions of any kind that we craft at the bar, simply allows us to control our flavour outcomes. We wanted a spirit booming with HOT chilli warmth, but more manageable in our desired cocktail. And of course the garnish for this drink is IRRESISTIBLE in itself, tempered to last as long as you wish.
