What happens when four iconic Colorado beverage brands come together under one roof? Après at Govnr’s Park. Breckenridge Distillery, Carboy Winery, Storm Peak Brewing, and Broken Compass unite to create the ultimate local tasting experience—and with Breckenridge Distillery’s brand-new tequila hitting the scene, we’ve got a cocktail recipe worth shaking up this summer.
Spicy Guava Marg
Ingredients
- 2 oz. Casa Breck Blanco tequila
- 3 jalapeño wheels (muddled with tequila)
- ¾ oz. guava purée (Après recommends buying from The Perfect Puree of Napa Valley)
- 1 oz. lime juice
- ½ oz. Aperol
- ¼ oz. agave
- 2 dashes bitters
Directions
- Hard shake and strain over ice with a salted rim and dehydrated lime for garnish.
“The guava purée brings a tropical sweetness that pairs perfectly with the heat of the jalapeño. Aperol adds a bitter, herbaceous edge to balance the fruitiness, while lime and agave round everything out with bright acidity and a smooth finish.”—Nikki Kong, bartender, Après at Govnr’s Park
