The Siesta, crafted by Katie Stipe in 2006 at the now-shuttered Pegu Club in New York City, revolutionized the realm of tequila-based cocktails. Prior to its inception, the landscape offered scant options, aside from the renowned Margarita and Paloma. This contemporary masterpiece presents a mildly bitter twist on the Hemingway Daiquiri, ingeniously substituting tequila for rum and introducing Campari as a replacement for maraschino liqueur. Its distinct and captivating flavors have secured the Siesta a well-deserved spot among the pantheon of modern classics.
