Mystic Illusion Dahlia hybrid

SMOKEY TAMARINDO

— 1 oz. Mezcal — 1/2 oz. Cointreau — 1 oz. Lime Juice — 1 oz. Tamarindo Syrup — 4 Dashes Habanero Lime Bitters

Wow, this contemporary-modern Dahlia sure stands out above and beyond the rest. Mystic Illusion charms all with its beautiful and fashionable filigreed deep mahogany to black foliage, topped with vivid yellow ribbed sunflower-like blooms, with prominent dark mysterious centers. The strong impact of this selection makes it a must-have for programs looking to grab attention. Added resilience against summer heat followed up with a quick trim will encourage reblooming throughout the entire year. Mass planted, Mystic Illusion will add a riot of color to tropical plantings, summer borders, and container. Plant unrooted cuttings in week 20 to achieve flowering 8-inch containers for Halloween and fall promotional oportunities. A real gem from the New Zealand breeder, Dr. Keith Hammett, and a top industry-favorite overall.

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Rim glass with blend of salt, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper.
