Well, this was quite a journey but it’s good.
I was going to have a margarita with our dinner of chicken and black bean enchiladas, oh no, used almost all the tequila making a batch of margarita and one of Paloma for memorial day. Ok, plug the gap with mezcal, the good one. Measure the juice from my measley lime, nope not enough, juice my last lime, well now it’s too much but I don’t want to waste it. So a smidge of simple. I’ll be damned, it ended up very good but I do think it is because of the good mezcal.
1oz Tequila Ocho claro
1oz Del Maguey Chichicapa
1oz orange liqueur
1.25 oz lime
.25oz simple (1/1)
I am really getting into mezcal lately. Besides the one you used, are there others you recommend?
I don’t think there is a better one I can afford! All the Del Maguey ones are good. I didn’t like Montelobos or the El Padrino. Hopefully someone who has tried more can help you.
