Hierve El Agua

Hierve El Agua is a savory, spirit-forward cocktail that elegantly balances the artisanal warmth of Mezcal San Cosme with rich botanical and subtly spicy notes. It builds a sleek, sophisticated base by combining 1.5 oz of the espadín mezcal and 0.5 oz of sweet red vermouth in a mixing glass with ice. Stirred gently until perfectly chilled, the smooth mixture is elegantly strained into a frosty, frozen martini glass. This intriguing, umami-driven sipper is uniquely finished by floating three drops of aromatic chili oil on top alongside a delicate dash of salt, delivering a fiery, complex kick that beautifully complements the earthy agave.
