Heated Negotiations
I’m back for the fourth chapter of the @catanpisco and @settlersofcatan collaboration! If you’ve ever played the game, this is probably a familiar scene: you want to build a City, but your opponent is refusing to give you the resources you need (at a fair price, that is). Things get tense, even a little spicy. This drink is just the diplomatic juice the situation needs.
I Dream of Greenie
Anyone in the mood for a mezcal martini? What if it’s herbaceous, a little funky, and just the right amount of savory? I assume you’ve already scrolled past if your answer is no, so keep reading. I was sent a lovely bottle of mezcal by @mezcalamaras, which isn’t as assertive (ie smoky) as some others— which allows it to be the feature spirit in this stirred format without completely overtaking the more subtle flavors.
Stoplight
Yes, this is one of those Instagram Drinks that is unnecessarily complicated in order to get visual appeal (stay tuned for @bestcocktails League Finals tomorrow!). Sorry not sorry. With that being said, this drink is actually really tasty and refreshing and even after stirring it up there is still a bit of a gradient (as opposed to a murky brownish color, which often happens after disrupting layered drinks).
