Fuerza
A smokey, coffee-forward tequila cocktail… say less.
The recipe was created by my dude Dalton Bedard (@intent_to_imbibe) at @eattheordinary here in Charleston, SC. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Dalton placed in the Top 5 US Bartenders for @worldclassus in 2024. But good news y’all, he’s back at in 2025 as a finalist for the East Coast and we’re all pulling for him to take it all home this year.

1¼ oz | 37.5 ml Reposado Tequila

¾ oz | 22.5 ml Cold Brew Agave Syrup
3 Dashes Chocolate Mole Bitters
Lemon Peel Garnish
