About
This drink was created by Ben Long at the John Dory Oyster Bar (NYC; now closed). He was mentored by late bar legend Sasha Petraske. He wanted to show that mezcal did have a place in cocktails (a rarity at the time). Shaking with the peel (regal shake) is a wonderful way to add flavor.Cheers y’all!
