Description
The Siesta cocktail is a modern cocktail made with tequila, Campari, grapefruit juice, and lime juice. This unique mixture of Mexican and Italian liqueurs layers the flavors in a genius way that lets you enjoy the magic of both.
History
It was invented in 2006 by New York mixologist Katie Stipe. Some may call it a play on the Hemingway Daiquiri, with the grapefruit juice and lime. But the similarities end there!
