Peacock Alley's Across The Border Cocktail

This cocktail comes from Frank Caiafa, the bar manager for Peacock Alley at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel. This delicious and herbal update on the margarita is included in the reissued Waldorf Astoria Bar Book. The ratios are balanced and flavorful, strong but not overpowering, and it's easy to scale up for a crowd.

Serves 2

• 3ounces mezcal (Sombra is suggested)
• 1ounce Averna amaro
• 1 1/2ounces fresh grapefruit juice
• 2/3ounce lime juice
• 4ounces ginger beer (Fever Tree or Q is suggested)

1. Add all ingredients except ginger beer to shaker. Add ice and shake well.
2. Strain into a Collins glass filled with large ice cubes. Add ginger beer and stir briefly to integrate. Garnish with a lime wedge.
