The goal was to create a cocktail that really highlights the abundance around us in Ventura County. We are surrounded by beautiful citrus, fragrant herbs, gorgeous flowers and great local producers like Ventura Spirits. With that in mind, the flavor profile was focused on showcasing each of the individual ingredients, while also delivering a balanced experience on the palate. In this drink, the citrus and aromas of Amaro Angeleno hit you first, and then as you drink it the elderflower liqueur and spice and citrus notes from the Wilder Gin really pop, while the back end of curacao rounds out the drink to create a smooth finish. Perfect for a warm day in Ventura County, of which we have many.
This drink is on the menu at Decker Kitchen and other participating venues as the Venturan or the 22 Venturan.
