• 1 ½ oz mezcal Cupreata
  • ¾ oz sloe gin
  • ¾ oz Cynar

Stir with ice and strain into a Nick & Nora glass.

On the tin, it seems like this would be way too much, between the aggressive smokiness of the mezcal and the herbal bitterness of the Cynar, but the fruit in the slow gin is enough to balance all that out. It’s still pretty spirit-forward, but super palatable.

    I’m not a novice; that’s what kills me. I had a 21 year Glenfiddich that I loved and only drank neat. Lasted most of a year. I experiment but like decent bourbons like Basil Hayden. Wine cask Basil Hayden was so good for sipping.

    Anyway this feels like I’m bitching but that isn’t my intent. I wouldn’t want to stifle the creativity here, but holy shit you guys are next level to me. I thought I was sophisticated for not drinking Jack Daniel’s or Jim Beam. Nope! You guys are awesome.

    I wouldn’t have room for all that anyway.
