The Oaxacanite is a refined evolution of the margarita, offering nuanced layers beyond the classic salt-rimmed standard. Its subtle natural salinity enhances the earthy and citrus notes, creating a balanced profile perfect for pairing with authentic Mexican cuisine.
The Sawyer feels like a missed opportunity. With three bitters and gin’s botanicals, it should sing, but it falls flat—complexity without harmony, leaving the drink underwhelming.
The Port of Spain cocktail delivers a refined twist on the Trinidad Sour, offering a brighter, more refreshing profile. Its restrained use of bitters makes it more cost-effective, while still delivering complex layers of flavor.
