The Goods from Gotham Steakhouse
Vancouver, BC | “It’s always fun to use non-traditional ingredients for a winter cocktail. I chose to start with anejo tequila, an unexpected spirit for a cocktail in the cooler months. But with a hint of maple and a touch of our house made coffee liqueur, it really delivers a well balanced, alcohol forward tone for this drink. A delicious sip for those cold winter evenings.”
