2024 has arrived! For January, the cocktail challenge is Kiwi and Mezcal. The rules are simple, a novel drink using these ingredients, most upvoted (not net votes) wins.
Rule change: winner may pick the next challenge (not the month immediately following, as that’s not enough time to announce, but January winner can pick March challenge, and so on)
Post cocktails as replies to this thread. Post requirements are a photo, a recipe, tasting notes. Replies to recipe posts are allowed.
Enjoy!
February challenge will be a RED drink with a Valentine theme (broadly defined, love or martyrdom). Anything novel and any shade of red, must contain at least three ingredients but can be non alcoholic.
Naked and Famous riff. Naked Kiwi?
1oz of green chartreuse and mezcal
3/4oz of campari
3/4oz kiwi juice
Shaken on ice, finely strained
Garnish with kiwi.
Definitely similar to the tradition Naked and Famous, but subbing in kiwi for lime is an interesting twist. Adds some complexity.
