love any flavourful spirits in tiki

[@MixingUpTiki]

@@stephane.foisy.186 mezcal is def flavorful

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Been playing with Sotol recently so your creation with mezcal will definitely be on the try list.

Loving these drinks! Phil Ward (Death & Co) who’s good friend is Garret Richardson did our full bar menu at Ebanos Crossing based on Tiki Mezcal cocktails years ago - it was truly original

[@MixingUpTiki]

Oh neat. Happen to want to share any of the receipts? Please 🙏🏻 lol

I love the deep dive you did on mezcal. This spirit is amazing and you’ve done a great job here incorporating it into tiki

[@MixingUpTiki]

Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying them!

I finally got the pineapple rum recently and the Pineapple Cannon is fabulous!

[@MixingUpTiki]

@@jacksongilder so glad you enjoyed it!

[@toddbailey3552]

Both cocktails sound delicious and with one called a Pineapple Cannon you know I’m definitely going to try it! I did make the dagger clone rum for the 1-2 SC Planters Punch as well as your gardenia mix, and they are delicious AF!! Cheers 🥂 🍹and Mahalo!

[@MixingUpTiki]

So glad you’re enjoying everything! Okole maluna!

I love anytime I can pair some Mexican flavors into tiki drinks, be it fruits or spirits. I'll have to give these a try!

[@MixingUpTiki]

Ooo whatre some examples of Mexican fruits you’ve included?

[@Joshdr99]

One of my local tiki bars has a drink with mezcal but the smokiness in that drink is overpowering. Your Pineapple Cannon looks great and has me thinking twice about having mezcal in a tiki drink.

[@MixingUpTiki]

If done right, it’s def great. But you can also swing the other direction, go overboard with the mezcal, or use the wrong one, and completely ruin a cocktail.

[@JVC.22]

Some Mezcals aren’t as smoky as others. I love the smokiness so I tend to use El Silencio Espadín or Del Maguey Vida. Montelobos Joven is a very mellow mezcal with sublet hints of smokiness. You just have to find a Mezcal for your palate. Whatever you do, stay away from 400 Conejos. It’s made by Jose Cuervo so that should tell you all you need to know.

@@JVC.22 good advice

[@georgesaraskeris3447]

Indeed mezcal is amazing but is very expensive for use it on coctail ...

[@MixingUpTiki]

@@georgesaraskeris3447 idk where you are but Mezcal isn’t expensive around here. And better ingredients make better cocktail.

[@georgesaraskeris3447]

@@MixingUpTiki Im in Greece mezcal cost 40eur that is expensive when brookers gin cost 17eur

[@georgesaraskeris3447]
