About
This cocktail was created by Chris Bostick (@mrbostick) at Half Step in Austin in 2017. The name appears to combine Speedy Gonzales with Pedro Ximénez, the rich sherry that provides the drink’s sweetness. It drinks like a stripped-down tequila Old Fashioned or Manhattan, with dark dried-fruit notes surrounding the brighter agave base. Lemon peel oil adds that essential freshness to keep the PX from feeling too heavy.Cheers y’all!
