The Tia Juano is one of the 15 Tequila based drinks in the Café Royal Cocktail Book, published in 1937. I have written the recipe as it appears in the book, which happens to be in parts, rather than ounces or ml.
1/8 Campari
3/8 French Vermouth
1/2 Tequila
Shake
The whole 1/8 and 3/8 part can be a bit confusing, so I’ve translated it into the following for ease of use:
1/4 oz/7 ml Campari
3/4 oz/22 ml French Vermouth
2 oz/60 ml Tequila
Shake
I’m not going to add too much in line of commentary to this one as I’m hoping a few people will try it and post their own comments. I think there’ll be an interesting divide on this one…
