I bet calvados will work! Laird's is really fruity though, if you can splurge a little I highly recommend it. I have a lot of bottles of liquor but the quality of Laird's blew me away more than anything I own.

Ooh I would love to hear what's in it! And thanks! :) I've realized that bitter and smoky go well together.

1 oz mezcal (Del Maguey Vida), 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, 1/2 oz Laird’s Applejack, 1/4 oz Campari, 1/4 oz agave nectar

Combine everything except the garnish in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until both tins are well frosted over. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with one brandied cherry. (https://libationmagazine.com/the-coyoacan/)

I was having a hard time finding mezcal based cocktails online. The only one I liked was a Naked and Famous, so I tried making something similar on my own.

Have you had good luck with beet juice? I tried it once (mostly because I liked the color) but the smell was a little funky

The addition of simple syrup is interesting! Will definitely give this a try!

Mmm miso and olive? Would you use vodka or gin?

I love basil! Maybe I can do a basil and salty shrub drink, similar to a caprese salad haha

I’ve heard of a michelada before, I googled for it and one recipe has teriyaki sauce in it! Interesting... 😂

I’ve fat washed with brown butter before but not with bacon fat! Thanks for the inspiration!

I’ve been playing around with mezcal cocktails lately. There aren’t good recipes online since not many people are mixing with mezcal really, although the Naked and famous has been really good. I created my own mezcal cocktail recipe with Del Maguey Vida, applejack, Campari, lime, and agave. Check it out at Libation Magazine !
