www.cheersonline.com 10 • March 2015 WHAT I'M WHAT I'M WHA Jenny Schwarz CO-OWNER/BEVERAGE MANAGER FOR HOPSCOTCH IN OAKLAND, CA. I'm currently drinking a cocktail that we make at Hopscotch called Dominio, a mix of Scotch, amaro, blackberry, jalapeño and lemon. I love this drink because it's so surprising: It's a Scotch drink for people who never thought they'd enjoy Scotch. The blackberry is muddled, the jalapeno syrup adds a slight amount of heat and plays off the smoke of the Scotch, the amaro adds depth and the lemon bright- ness. It's shaken and strained into a coupe. An unsuspected combination that balances perfectly. Another favorite is our Chiki Chiku Sling, made with mezcal, tequila, Benedictine, ginger and citrus served over pebble ice. It's an update of a Tiki cocktail, satisfying the want for complex fl avors, baking spices, smoke and herbs, but the sweetness is really well balanced with both lemon and lime. This a great cocktail to enjoy with food or a perfect stand-alone sipper.
