ELOTE MEZCAL OF

- 2 dashes bitters
- 2 drops saline solution
- ¼ oz Ancho Reyes chili liqueur
- ¾ oz Nixta Licor de Elote
- 1½ oz mezcal

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange twist

Last week @[email protected] was whipping up some mezcal cocktails and inspired me. This one was delish! I agree with his modifications from the source: no agave syrup needed and I simplified the build by using Ancho Reyes instead of infusing the mezcal. My mezcal is slightly overproof at 46% which helped it stand up to the other sweet ingredients. Cheers!

I meant to post these two weeks ago and got distracted.

Some recent pickups from Julio's Liquors - a few Loch & K(e)y Rye offerings, I'm a big fan of rye. The Nelson's Green Brier which was a very pleasant dram at a recent Whiskey Wednesday at a very low price, so I picked one up. The Sotol and Nixta were from another WW. While I tend toward whiskey, I do enjoy other spirits and the sotol was worth adding to my lineup. The Nixta is a sweet corn liqueur, something you'd use in a cocktail maybe in place of simple or agave to give it a different flavor. It was interesting enough to pick up to play with.

The others are recent Compass Box web (Duality) and auction (Juveniles and Canto Cask 47) pickups, and the Bimber Duality which I also snagged at auction. Compass Box is my Pokémon. 😅
