Mas Tequila

Our love for tequila is no secret, and you will clearly see that theme as pervasive throughout these recipe posts. This one is a riff on a drink we found at the St. Leo Restaurant in Oxford, Mississippi on a college trip to Ole Miss. Good tequila kicked up with some Mezcal and Amaro. The beet juice gives it a nice color, but you can substitute with additional lime or any other root vegetable juice.

1 Part Tequila

1 Part Lime Juice

3/4 Part Mezcal

1/2 Part Amaro 

1/2 Part Beet Juice

Combine in shaker or mixing glass, add ice and mix for 30 seconds. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass and garnish with jalapeno or serrano pepper slices.
