Created in 2013 in San Diego, this cocktail shows how to properly split your base spirit for new and exciting flavor combinations.
are so good, their flavor profiles so foundational, they feel like an old friend, even if you’ve never met.This Two-Michelin Starred L.A. Restaurant Closed Thanks to Covid. Now, It’s Back.To be a crowd-pleasing drink you have to be a lot of things, and “delicious” is just one of them. The flavors need to be resonant. It needs to vibrate out of the glass. It can’t be too basic, because cocktails are partially about novelty and discovery.
The Cobra Clutch is the opposite of this, so elemental it’s practically a vibe. I’ve made this drink hundreds of times and never once has it been turned away, turned back, or anything less than enthusiastically embraced by whoever I gave it to.
As a beachy tequila drink, it does make sense that the Cobra Clutch would come from San Diego. Christian Siglin is among the most talented bartenders in the city and in 2013 had just left a flashy cocktail palace to take over the bar of a neighborhood restaurant called Bankers Hill Bar & Grill.
The resulting cocktail is a showcase of balance and crowd-pleasing flavors. Mezcal’s smoky character can be polarizing, but Siglin not only splits it 1:3 with tequila, so the smoke is forced to use its indoor voice, but also diffuses it with pineapple juice, which combines with the tropical fruit like a pleasant dream. Absinthe too can divide the crowd, but with just a rinse it folds into the mint and tequila’s pepper like it’s made for it.
