The Tesla Collins was a fall specialty at the Macao Trading Co. in New York, invented by mixologists Ivan Radulovic and Danilo Bozovic. In it, a dry plum brandy (like slivovitz) is paired with a profusion of syrups and lightened with lemon and club soda, for a rich plummy flavor just perfect for the warm transition from summer to autumn.
The original recipe called for a house vanilla-citrus-honey syrup. We’ve broken that down to its component parts, and also reworked the ratios just slightly to keep the sweetness in check.
