#raisethebaroc #cocktailoftheday #mezcal #lovecal Who likes Mezcal?! Who knows what Mezcal is?? 😏 ahh good for you if you know. If you don't... Mezcal, or mescal, is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from the maguey plant native to Mexico. For some great detailed info about production and distillation check out mezcalphd.com. For today's cocktail we have this simple variation on the classic Last Word that swaps out the gin for savory mezcal and tosses in a slice of serrano pepper, making for a smoky and spicy variation on the drink. Last of the Oaxacans Ingredients 3/4 ounce mezcal 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, from 1 to 2 limes 3/4 ounce Luxardo maraschino 3/4 ounce Green Chartreuse 1 half-centimeter slice serrano pepper (see note above) Garnish: serrano pepper slice Add mezcal, lime juice, maraschino, Chartreuse, and serrano pepper to a cocktail shaker. Fill 2/3 full with ice and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker begins to frost, about 20 seconds. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with additional pepper slice and serve. #happythirstythursday #enjoycocktailfriends ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
