Skipping additional spirits in Dirty Dancing allows Licor 43 to shine in this golden-hued cocktail, its color an homage to the liqueur itself. I’m excited to present a cocktail that highlights my Spanish roots as well as other corners of the world.

Cocktail Inspiration

My inspiration for Dirty Dancing was creating a cocktail fitting for afternoon tea service in India or England as well as making a delicious nightcap. This is a cocktail not just for tea lovers, but anyone thirsty for a fresh take on the Espresso Martini.
