I came here form la 'Ultima Palabra' -same considerations about mezcal profiles. But in this case the taste is exactly TEPACHE. A mexcian beverage made of fermented pineapple with a very low proof. If you take out the mezcal it will be exactly the flavour. They sell it in little towns, in the ranchos, even kids drink it. Is really surprising to taste this flavor of my childhood. I have said before, but I love mixology for this alchemys, not quite expected, but surprising.
I quite like this, but I'm feeling like I want a little more bite and some fizz via ginger beer. Checking my stock, of course I'm out of it though. Very easy sipper. Used Suze, Vida Puebla, and Strega.
What a brilliant, creative cocktail! I love Suze and there's no shortage of it here. There is however a whole lot more going on. From the spicy peppery depths (I used Dolin Génépy) immersed in a pineapple mezcal smokey sea, the bittersweet Suze sour center kept bringing me back to contemplate what the hell did I just taste?
I do switch around the mesurment for the Suze and the Mezcal. The result is closer to my personal taste. A bit more rounded, less bitter and the Chartreuse comes more forward.
I feel I need to comment on this because fabulous but I can’t really improve on the creators own description. Errr, it’s fabulous..! Feels related to the also fabulous Ultima Palabra, IDK the chronology on that.
Oh wow - these two drinks are so different buy at the same time so the same. Both are Mezcal, Lime, Pineapple and Chartreuse - but one yellow the other green. The big change being Suze for Maraschino
Very similar in taste breakdown but with one bright yellow the other a mint green the Eye taste makes a difference.
For me the Ultima takes edges it - marginally sweeter and a faint marmalade flavour.
