The Story Behind The El Murielago
This stunning, agave-based cocktail is the creation of Portland beverage professional Beau Raymond. A bit more elaborate than your traditional sour, the drink delicately balances mezcal, tequila, and sloe gin. It has a velvety smooth texture and a subtle peppery spice from the Aleppo tincture that plays well with the various citrus flavors.
