The Montserrat

Chef Alexandra Raij of New York City's El Quinto Pino named this elegant cocktail in honor of the Virgin of Montserrat, Catalonia's patron saint. Casa Mariol's fragrant, assertively spicy Vermut Negre blends beautifully with Aperol and Cava — and the surprising combo of an olive and a brandied kumquat (yes, you can eat the whole thing) makes for a memorably savory garnish.
