Komodo
An in-house aloe vera cordial gives this cocktail a deep flavor with a hint of sourness, says Karol Ansaldi, the corporate bar manager for Groot Hospitality, which includes Komodo in Miami. “Considering the aloe’s healing properties, it’s supposed to represent a geisha entertaining and taking care of her guests,” he says. Aloe’s bitter flavor is best offset with strong fruity flavors like grapes, berries or citrus, Ansaldi believes.
