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.
