Pepper Unicorn

Looking for something spicy and festive? the pepper unicorn is a boozy cocktail with a split base of Tequila and gin, and a health dose of Ancho Reyes. We originally were tinkering with making a Negroni but got a little carried away. Ended up with something tasty and well balanced. 

A little hot, great smokey tequila taste and smooth finish. If you haven’t done much with it, Old Tom Gin runs a bit sweeter than London Dry gin but not overly so. Would definitely recommend picking up a bottle of Ancho Reyes if you don’t have one already.

  • .75 oz Batch 206 Old Tom Counter Gin
  • .75 oz Campari
