The Jalisco Shake Down balances the earthy, oaked notes of reposado tequila against a bright tropical foundation of pineapple and passionfruit. Aperol contributes a gentle bitter edge that keeps the sweetness in check, while lime juice provides necessary acidity. The float of Peychaud's bitters adds a subtle anise perfume that rises from the glass, tying the Mexican and tiki influences together into a drink that's fruity but restrained.
