Cocktail Colin says:
Adonis' Chariot masterfully harnesses the rustic charm of Tequila Reposado with the sweet sophistication of red vermouth and rich sherry, presenting a symphony of depth and complexity. The splash of orange bitters introduces a bright, citrus spark that beautifully counters the heavier undertones, ensuring a balanced, engaging sip from start to finish.

FAQ's
What is the ideal occasion for serving Adonis' Chariot?
Adonis' Chariot, with its sophisticated blend of tequila reposado, sherry, and vermouth, is perfect for evening social gatherings or as a refined pre-dinner cocktail. Its complex flavor profile makes it suitable for events where a touch of elegance is desired.
Can you recommend any food pairings for Adonis' Chariot?
Due to its rich and nuanced flavors, Adonis' Chariot pairs well with bold, savory dishes. Consider serving it alongside tapas, particularly those featuring mature cheeses, chorizo, or seafood. The cocktail’s complexity also complements the subtle flavors of sushi and grilled meats.
How does the alcohol content of Adonis' Chariot compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 28.5%, Adonis' Chariot falls into a moderate range of alcohol by volume (ABV) for cocktails. It's stronger than light, fruity cocktails but not as potent as some spirit-forward options like martinis or Manhattans, making it a balanced choice for most.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of Adonis' Chariot that I can make?
While the unique character of Adonis' Chariot comes from its alcohol ingredients, a non-alcoholic version can be crafted using non-alcoholic substitutes for tequila, vermouth, and sherry. Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics tequila for the base, and seek out non-alcoholic versions of sweet vermouth and sherry. Remember to include the orange bitters for that signature flavor.
Why is shaking preferred over stirring for Adonis' Chariot?
Shaking Adonis' Chariot, as opposed to stirring, is preferred to ensure a well-chilled cocktail while also achieving an optimal dilution and integration of flavors. The vigorous action of shaking helps to blend the dense sweetness of the sherry and vermouth with the robustness of the tequila, creating a smooth and cohesive drink.
