Tried a new #cocktail today, a #nakedandfamous, substituting #portcharlotte10 single malt #scotch for #mezcal It was very tasty… 🍸

Some thoughts and comments

The Nixta would be good in #tiki style drinks - there's an unctousness and cinnamon hint that could work well.
(Nixta is sweetened with piloncillo too so that's a good match already)

My apologies to true #mezcal enthusiasts - the good stuff don't need to be in cocktails - this is just Espadin (and yes not great how that cultivation is displacing wild stuff)

Much better this #Mezcal Old Fashioned
with just ¼ oz of the Ancho Reyes (can go lower even)
Moodeled on this Elote Old Fashioned - but with the Ancho instead of the elote sous vide in the mezcal. Skipped the agave nectar - Nixta is plenty sweet, the saline is needed.

Opening up some of my #Mexico bottle haul!
Picked up the Nixta and it has terrific long flavor - but rather sweet up front (I can see why old fashioneds with it in lieu of sugar would be great).

Tried the Palabra Caliente* #cocktail (skipped the 🍒) also with the Ancho liqueuer. Hmm this is good but less corn forward (and too much ancho but not as spicy) as I thought it would be. Used the last of my Vega elote #mezcal (Espadin) for it.

Basically a #Mezcal Mule w/ freshly muddled orange & strawberry & a squeeze of lime.

I’m calling it a “SoCal Jackass”.

Picked up some bottles to take back home to Pittsburgh - things I'd not get there. Mezcal, Raicilla and some others. Really enjoyed the conversation at El Liquor Store and the samlings/tastings as I considered what to buy (bottle/glass weight was a factor for bottle 4 and 5...) Many props to the guy there who gave me a roll of bubble wrap too when he rang me up.
(I did bring bubble wrap with me but not enough...)
