Golden Ivy

Share Cocktail Recipe

Golden Ivy is a very aromatic cocktail (beyond the garnish) that has depth and is multi-dimensional. The muddled ginger gives fresh and subtle heat complimenting the beautiful light caramel notes in cada día tequila reposado. The celery gives it a little body and brightness which balances the spicy agave syrup and the cooked agave from the reposado. The chartreuse adds some earthiness and subtle vegetal notes. The lime rounds out the drink with balance and freshness.
