From the Rainbow Room to the Museum of the American Cocktail, Dale DeGroff (a.k.a. the King of Cocktails) has done it all. Take this drink as a reflection of his experience—an ode to tequila.

What to buy: Blood orange juice is available at gourmet grocery stores and online.

Clément Créole Shrubb liqueur, from Martinique, is made up of a blend of rums flavored with spices and orange. It can be found at specialty liquor stores.

Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Rosé Champagne is available at high-end liquor stores. If you can’t find it, or don’t want to splurge, try a more modestly priced sparkling wine.
