Bartender Cesar Garcia at San Francisco’s Linden Room gained inspiration for this cocktail after spending time in South America and, more recently, Europe. He says the yerba mate made into a simple syrup intricately adds bitterness while génépy and tequila add balance and approachability. He finishes off the drink with two dashes of orange bitters and a dash of Bittercube Corazón bitters.
