For Sunday, a cocktail of tepache with mezcal and tequila.
1 oz mezcal
1 oz tequila (reposada but any would work)
1 oz lime
4 oz tepache
2 dropperful fire tincture
No, it doesn’t fit in this glass !
Started this with 1 oz tequila 1 oz mezcal 2 oz tepache, because I’ve done that with tequila alone and it was nice. Way too boozy, mezcal too rough. Doubled the tepache, added the lime. Split it and threw half in the freezer for now. Would have been better with younger tepache (mine is a little dry) or some simple but I’m not that motivated today. It’s good, hard to go wrong with tepache because it’s delicious.
Previously, I used the whole pineapple, instead of just the core and peel. I also used piloncillo, which I think was part of my flavor issues. I may have also let it ferment for too long. I started making alcoholic Gingerbeer not long after the tepache attempt. Mayne it is time to take a crack at tepache again.
