His gift at the top is a framed photo that hung in our favorite record store and I always commented that I wanted it so much, because I mean, look at him. (He didn't steal it but purchased it off of the shop owner)

I commissioned an Etsy artist for the handwritten sheet music of "Dance Me to the End of Love" (Leonard is important to the story of our first meeting)

Maybe this is corny but I wanted to share. This exchange of gifts is easily the best I've ever experienced.

Say it ain't so....

Specs:

1.5oz coconut fat washed blanco tequila

.5oz lime juice

.75oz agave

1oz mango-habanero puree

.5oz Aperol

Tajin rim

​

Method:

Shake all ingredients except the Aperol with ice, strain into chilled coupe rimmed with tajin. Sink the Aperol to the bottom of the drink by pouring it down a bar spoon.

​

Ingredients:

Mango habanero puree - 4 yellow mangoes + 2 fresh habanero peppers (de-seeded), blended in a Vitamix with ~1/3 cup water (or until desired consistency, I kept it fairly thick)

​

Coconut fat washed tequila - 5oz of warmed extra virgin coconut oil for every 1L of tequila used (or 1oz per 200mL for smaller scale) let rest at room temp for an hour then freeze overnight, remove the solidified fat cap and strain through a coffee filter (keep refrigerated)
