‘Yucatan If You Want To’ begins with of flavors of Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon that is bursting with juicy, ripe berry notes. I then when mixed it with Mexican Coca-Cola to create an exotic Cherry-Coke. To make a complex syrup I combined Courvoisier Cognac VS revealing nutty buttered toffee notes. Followed by that I paired Dickel Rye’s vanilla, spice, caramel, and laced with coffee, bitter orange and coco found in Byrrh Grand Quinquina. All married together in a chilled coupe glass. ‘Yucatan If You Want To’? Yes, I want to and trust me so will you.
