Happy national #cocktail day!

This is turning out to be in my top 3 easily, even more so as I have it prebatched. Just need to stir well with ice to dilute a bit, splash of bitters, then pour into the cold glass.

Production of mezcal in Mexico is booming to meet growing global demand. One study found that plantations of agave, used to make mezcal, have expanded by more than 400% over the past three decades @AssociatedPress

🌵 El auge del mezcal también deja huella

El vídeo muestra cómo el crecimiento del mezcal impulsa la economía local, pero también provoca deforestación y pérdida de biodiversidad. Comunidades buscan ahora producir sin destruir su entorno.

Friday homework
Taste testing the cocoa nib infused mezcal in #negroni (side by side with non infused control)
Flavor is excellent, chocolatey - I'm undecided whether to filter the #mezcal further through filter paper (not just the cheesecloth multi layers) to get it clearer.

WORMHOLE

- ½ oz lime juice
- ½ oz lemon juice
- 1 oz orange juice
- ½ oz coconut cream
- ½ oz salted caramel sweet cream
- ½ oz Nixta Licor de Elote
- 1 oz mezcal
- ¾ oz Stroh 80

Shake // Open pour // Garnish: dehydrated orange

This has been on my reshake list forever and I finally got around to it! In December 2024 I went to Mothership, a space-themed tiki bar in San Diego with Star Trek TOS vibes that I just loved. At the bar it came in a Nachtmann crystal glass and specifically named Stroh, an Austrian rum. Both are really easy to get in my area, so I vowed to remake it.

The spec proportions are my best guess, but I think I landed pretty close and it tasted great. I went a step further with the Stroh and used a barspoon to cover the dehydrated orange for a flaming boost to warp speed! The original had a candied orange instead of dehydrated (see second pic to compare).

Felt extra fancy and well fed after earlyish dinner so...
Chocolate infused #Mezcal #Negroni (Carpano, campari) with garam masala smoke
A damn fine drink, if I say so myself

(Smoke was just me being fancypantsy - and quickly reminded me why that silly smoking gun sees so little use)

Anyways - cheers, friends!
