History:
Created by yours truly in January 2025. This mezcal-influenced riff on a classic Toreador (bullfighter) is named after the decorated darts (banderillas) bullfighters use during a bullfight. While the brutality of this 'sport' leads to many questioning its future, the Toreador cocktail thrives, hence my creation of this riff.
Review:
A riff on a Toreador with bittersweet mezcal and apricot notes.
