Santa’s Helper

Written By Corinne Hennessey

If you’re like me, you prefer spirit and citrus-forward cocktails over dessert cocktails. I tend to find this helps to balance out all the heavy foods and sweet treats that litter parties all December. This fun green cocktail is festive and seasonal without using the saccharine mess known as Medori. This cocktail gets it’s color from a delicious Key Lime Apertivo, called Perrine Amaro, made by Treehouse. They have multiple locations around Massachusetts so if you’re there for beer, definitely give it a try!

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Perrine Amaro

  • 1 oz Fresh Lime juice

  • 1/2 oz Ginger Liqueur

  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup

  • 1.5 oz Tequila

  • Egg White

Method

In a shaker, combine all ingredients and dry shake for 15 seconds. Add ice and shake again until chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a dried citrus wheel.
