mezcal - Cocktail Detour

Muletide

We thought this cocktail is fitting today, kust a few days before Christmas. It's a spicy mix of smoky mezcal, ginger and allspice. And although served chilled, there is definitely some heat in this one.⁠ ⁠ Happy Friday!⁠ ⁠ Recipe by Joann Spiegel⁠ Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal⁠ 0,75 oz Amontillado sherry⁠ 0,75 oz ginger syrup⁠ 0,5 oz lemon juice⁠ 0,5 oz allspice liqueur⁠ Mixing: Shake all ingredients with fresh ice and fine strain into rocks glass.

Gusano's Delight

Just because it's a vegetable-based cocktail it doesn't have to be a Bloody Mary. This Gusano's Delight is made with avocado and it is that base that gives the cocktail a smooth texture and a very earthy and pleasant flavor. With mezcal being the base spirit you're in for a smoky experience which is then nicely complemented by the spicy Ancho Reyes liqueur.⁠ Gusano's Delight Recipe by Craig Schoettler & Marshall Altier⁠ Ingredients: 2 oz mezcal⁠ 0,5 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur⁠ 1,5 oz avocado

1910

Feeling fancy this Saturday? If so why not stir yourself this decadent number by Ezra Star? Cognac cocktail always put us in the mood, and this one is by no means no exception. Italian Punt e Mes is another guilty pleasure, made with one part vermouth and half a part of amaro. Exquisite on its own and extremely good in this cocktail.⁠ 1910 Recipe by Ezra Star Ingredients: 0,75 oz mezcal⁠ 0,75 oz Cognac⁠ 0,5 oz maraschino liqueur⁠ 1 oz Punt e Mes⁠ 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters Mixing: Stir all i

The Tarnish

This drink gets such a nice ruby red colour from the cassis. And it tastes as good as it looks. They smokiness of the mezcal combines with the sweet liqueur in a really pleasant way. The sparkling club soda helps refresh things and it all turns out in the most delicious of ways.⁠ The Tarnish Recipe from “Tequila & Mezcal” by Sondlo & Rapp Ingredients: 1,25 oz mezcal⁠ 0,25 oz rhum Agricole⁠ 0,25 oz crème de cassis⁠ 1 oz lime juice⁠ 0,5 oz simple syrup⁠ Club soda⁠ Mixing: Shake all ingredients

Transcendence

When Matthias [https://www.instagram.com/servedbysoberon/] posted this drink some time ago we just immediately felt the urge to re-shake it. We love that the cocktail contains both mezcal as well as an amaro and on top of that our all time favourite green bottle - Chartreuse.⁠ ⁠ And as always when Matthias is behind the specs, the drink tastes phenomenal! Cheers and enjoy your Sunday!⁠ Transcendence Recipe by Matthias Soberon Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal⁠ 0,5 oz amaro Nonino⁠ 0,75 oz lime juice⁠

Terra Linda

Today we present yet another recipe by bartender superstar Madeleine Solo Rapp. Terra Linda is a smoky and slightly bittersweet cocktail that makes us feel very elegant drinking it.⁠ ⁠ The deep red colour is quite striking, it is indeed a visual cocktail. But we do believe you also drink with your eyes. ⁠ ⁠ We don't use Dubonnet (a kind of fortified wine) very often, but in this drink it shows why it's defending its shelf space in our home bar.⁠ ⁠ Skål!⁠ Terra Linda Recipe by Madeleine Solo Rap

Speaking in Tongues

Seeing Candide at the Royal Swedish Opera a few weeks ago was fantastic. It's a comic opera, and there was no shortage of funny costumes and surprising lyrics.⁠ ⁠ But we just couldn't resist bringing a flask cocktail. This one by Chris Hannah is absolutely delicious, and it worked well as a pre-batched drink. We've always liked the combination of tequila and mezcal, and in here the added amaro and coffee tones really complement the whole experience.⁠ ⁠ The glass? It's collapsable and it fits any
