[Recipe] The Doe by Esmeralda Castrogiovanni of Atlas Bar (Singapore)

Created by Esmeralda Castrogionvanni of Atlas in Singapore, The Doe is a light and floral cocktail where vodka is combined with peach and jasmine. Drawing from Esmeralda’s Southern Italian roots, the cocktail rounds out with Passito, a sun-dried dessert wine, which lends a gentle, refined sweetness.
