The Story

Created by Katie Stipe at New York's Flatiron Lounge, the Siesta is a riff on the Hemingway Daiquiri: tequila replaces rum and Campari takes the place of maraschino liqueur. Grapefruit and lime keep it bright, and the Campari adds a bitter edge that makes the whole thing feel like a sunset in a glass.
