RECIPE: Rosemary, Apple Cider Margarita
This cocktail screams winter. It has the hearty rosemary herbaceous notes carried by the sweetness in the apple, and finally balanced by the smokey, sexiness of Mezcal Amarás. You can make this in large batches, like a large batch of punch, or make as single serve cocktails. ¡ Salud !
RECIPE: Watermelon Margarita
Happy Pride! This year we celebrate 50 years since our forefathers took a stand at Stonewall. I am a proud gay man, a proud Mexican-American and thankful that we have come this far. Let’s celebrate, realize how far we have come, and look at what else we need to fight for! This cocktail tastes like summer - ¡ vamos fiestar !
RECIPE: Pride Pineapple Mule Cocktail
Happy Pride! It's a good year to be gay and orgulloso! This cocktail is my interpretation of a refreshing Pride after a long day in the sun. With the Morris Kitchen Ginger syrup and the Los Amantes (the lovers in Spanish) this cocktail follows the tradition of the mezcal mule, but with pineapple to make you sweeter. The comal roasted pineapple and spicy ginger dance on the palette, invoking the subtle smoke in the mezcal.
RECIPE: Paloma Cocktail
Pink. Salty. Sweet. This is the perfect cocktail and is as common as the Margarita in Mexico. This recipe will inspire your guest's palates and grapefruits are in season - so get squeezing!
RECIPE: Mezcal Margarita
This recipe is special and it is not mine - this is the recipe of Noah Small, the beverage director at Empellon, NYC. It is simple and it puts a whopping 2 ounces of mezcal forward in the recipe. The marriage of the agave nectar with the espadin is simply brilliant because the flavor bases are the same.
