What Is a Siesta Cocktail?
The Siesta cocktail is a sour that doubles down on the bitter citrus notes of Campari liqueur and grapefruit, resulting in a complex and refreshing tequila cocktail. A play on the Hemingway Daiquiri, the Siesta is a mixed drink that will win over fans of Margaritas looking for something just slightly more challenging.
