Episode 15 - The Improved Alex Delany

Bon Appetit is crushing the content game these days. Behind much of this double-tappability is Alex Delany , a dude who we think is from Philly judging by his social media account and his beer obsession. Recently, he posted a recipe for the Siesta, a tequila cocktail made with grapefruit and lime whose vibrant hue is an invitation to jump right into that cold ass Memorial Day Weekend pool at the local swim club, no matter the weather. We made some slight riffs to enhance its smokiness and brightness while discussing the dark times between the dropped nap and the kids' ability to entertain themselves. We also agreed on a dad-type (and perhaps Jim decided that it was a singular and specific dad and this was his ode), one who is just as vibrant and cool as this cocktail. The Improved Alex Delany (adapted from Bon Appetit ) 2 oz. mezcal ¾ oz. simple syrup ¾ oz. fresh lime juice ½ oz. Campari ½ oz. fresh grapefruit juice Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake the shit out of it, then strain into a coupe glass. Flame the grapefruit peel and make it rain lime zest over the foam. Serve to your guests, who feel incredibly comfortable in your effortlessly cool presence.
