About
This cocktail was created by Miguel Buencamino (@holycityhandcraft) and is featured in his brand new book, Essential Cocktails: 85 Perfectly Crafted Recipes for Every Occasion. It is his agave twist on the modern classic Revolver cocktail, which uses bourbon. This one reminds of me of the Carajillo Old Fashioned version created by Jordan Hughes. What sets this one apart is the use of a blanco tequila, mezcal rinse, and that beautifully smoked salt. Cheers y’all!
