Spirits we Tasted

Mezcals

Joven (HO-ven) = unaged
Reposado = aged

Chacho – Jalapeno infused moonshine

Favorite Cocktail

I’ve realized recently that I’m a “boozy” cocktail drinker. My favorite cocktail right now is a Mezcal Negroni

Favorite Spirit

I think I’m a Scotch person! And Mezcal is a close second because they share some of the same flavor profiles.
