With one of the best environments, warm service from the locals, unsurpassed climate, and colonial charm, it has been – and will continue- to witness the most exclusive events, the most enticing dinners, and the most memorable encounters accompanied by dear friends.
This weekend the terraces near the Jardín Allende and its bars await us with their doors open to receive us and celebrate with friends with all hygiene and safety measures.
To ensure the best plan, be sure to visit BEKEB, one of the best places in San Miguel de Allende, directed by the renowned mixologist Fabiola Padilla. She shares with Statement two of her best cocktails to prepare at home. Enjoy these delicious concoctions that celebrate the authentic aromas and flavors of Mexico.
MIRANDA
Inspired by a sophisticated, elegant, and strong woman, Miranda is a refined cocktail based on mezcal, Mediterranean herbal liqueur, vermouth, and sherry. Its delicate herbal and woody aromas harmonize with desserts with bitter nuances such as dark chocolate.
Ingredients:
- ¾ Oz. Dolin Blanc Vermouth
- ¾ Oz. Fine Jerez
- ¾ Oz. Amaro Averna
- ¾ Oz. Mezcal Ojo de Tigre
- Eureka lemon peel
- Ice
- Coupe cup or Nick & Nora
- Bar mixing glass
Preparation:
- Cool the glass. Place ice in the cup so that it gets the optimum temperature.
- Add the ingredients. Place the spirits and spirits in a mixing glass. Then add ice (¾ parts of the mixing glass) and mix it for 20 seconds with a long bar spoon.
- Drain the glass. Drain any water that may have melted from the ice and pour the contents of the mixing glass using a julep strainer.
- Decor. Finish the cocktail by squeezing the oils from the eureka lemon peel over the cocktail, and then place a spiral of it on the glass.
If you prefer something more refreshing or fruity, Green Sunset is the perfect option for a sunny afternoon by the pool. For sake lovers, Padilla boldly mixes this traditional drink with white tequila, achieving the perfect balance between citrus and green elements – such as prickly pear and basil – that give this refreshing elixir its name.
