For more cocktails, see my Complete Book of Mixed Drinks (HarperCollins, 2002).

I am suggesting a featured spirit for each cocktail. These choices are based on my objective evaluation and are not paid advertisements. Enjoy!

Cocktail of the Week
November 5-11, 2006

Mezcal Limondo

A first cousin of tequila, this fine mezcal is smoky and toasted with smooth, fleshy flavors and lovely complexity. It shows sweet notes and lush notes of spice and bacon; long, mellow and lovely.


2 ounces Los Danzantes Mezcal Reposado
wedge of lime

Rub the rim of a shot glass with the lime, r ind side. Pour in the mezcal and sip.
