About Siesta Highball

The Siesta Highball is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that combines the smoky allure of mezcal with the zesty brightness of lime juice and the sweetness of simple syrup. The addition of amaro and Campari brings a complex, bittersweet depth, while fresh basil leaves add a touch of herbal freshness. Topped with effervescent blood-orange ginger beer, this drink is a delightful fusion of bold flavors and invigorating effervescence, perfect for enjoying a relaxed afternoon or a lively evening with friends.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
