A New Cocktail To Know | 3 ingredients w/ Kevin Kos

Today I'm making a new cocktail - the Dahlia Cup! This week I've teamed up with two other YouTube bartenders for a friendly cocktail challenge - Kevin from Cocktail Time with Kevin Kos and Gabriel from Liquid Memoir. Gabriel decided Kevin and I had to use three ingredients in our original cocktails; mezcal, chamomile, and lemon. I'm calling my answer to the challenge the Dahlia Cup - named after the national flower of Mexico (and a cousin to chamomile). This was a fun episode because not only did it push me to create something new, but it allowed me to show how my brain works when creating these new concoctions.

I had a great time working with Kevin and Gabriel. Both know their way behind the bar, produce engaging and informative content, and are great guys. If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting their channels, please do so.
