Atticus Finch

What is Atticus Finch?

The Atticus Finch cocktail delivers a smoky, bittersweet, and citrus-forward profile that leans into modern craft sensibilities. Mezcal brings earth and smoke, Aperol adds gentle bitterness and color, sweet vermouth provides herbal depth, and orange juice brightens everything with a juicy lift. It’s a thoughtful, layered drink with personality - quietly bold without being aggressive.

This cocktail feels both approachable and complex: citrus and sweetness up front, then a slow fade into smoky and bittersweet notes. It's an ideal drink for slow sipping, savory pairings, or showing off a mezcal-based cocktail that isn't one-note or overly intense.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
