Alloy is known for its delicious and beautifully plated food, but perhaps less for its lush, sunny patio in the summertime. A bit out of the way off Macleod Trail, this award-winning restaurant is the perfect spot for a cocktail and a bite on a warm day.
Alloy's barkeep Roydon Mitton has come up with a satiating drink with Cointreau, gin, tequila and plenty of citrus. Try your hand at it at home this long weekend!

1 oz. The Botanist gin
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. good quality tequila
