¡Cuba Libre!
(Not quite how I feel about that name in 2026, but it's from 1898 I suppose)

60 mL Havana Club Especial #Rum
120 mL Coca cola (cane sugar sweetened; made in USA - not sure where)
Lime juice from wedge.

Must say this is a stiffer drink than I typically make (I like it!) - but given the rum I went with Havana Club proportions.

Much better this #Mezcal Old Fashioned
with just ¼ oz of the Ancho Reyes (can go lower even)
Moodeled on this Elote Old Fashioned - but with the Ancho instead of the elote sous vide in the mezcal. Skipped the agave nectar - Nixta is plenty sweet, the saline is needed.

Opening up some of my #Mexico bottle haul!
Picked up the Nixta and it has terrific long flavor - but rather sweet up front (I can see why old fashioneds with it in lieu of sugar would be great).

Tried the Palabra Caliente* #cocktail (skipped the 🍒) also with the Ancho liqueuer. Hmm this is good but less corn forward (and too much ancho but not as spicy) as I thought it would be. Used the last of my Vega elote #mezcal (Espadin) for it.

#Mezcal last word ftw
(With 3 drops of luxardo marascino cherry syrup and a ½ tsp of agave nectar - after it felt a little too tart and bracing)

Hmm the pineapple infused mezcal mentioned here seems interesting to have around ( cc @APBBlue )

Happy national #cocktail day!

This is turning out to be in my top 3 easily, even more so as I have it prebatched. Just need to stir well with ice to dilute a bit, splash of bitters, then pour into the cold glass.
Cacao nib infused* #mezcal negroni
(with campari and Carpano antica vermouth; 1 part each)

*1:1 Mix of 8 hr (overnight) infused at cool ambient room temp and 90 min infused at 65 ⁰C; 10% cacao nibs by weight per volume of mezcal (Espadin)

I should probably 3Dprint a lid with a hole to connect the tube from the smoking gun thingy, rather than have it open under and trap with a watch glass.

Felt extra fancy and well fed after earlyish dinner so...
Chocolate infused #Mezcal #Negroni (Carpano, campari) with garam masala smoke
A damn fine drink, if I say so myself

(Smoke was just me being fancypantsy - and quickly reminded me why that silly smoking gun sees so little use)

Anyways - cheers, friends!

Not pink, not on ice - I'll leave that to California friends.
But #Champagne chilled in the finest snow this side of my porch

Didn't have anything to drink in the evening and before midnight - but feeling much better now, so oh yeah 2026 - bring it on!

For the flight, followed up the Weller 👆🏽 - so clearly #bourbon on the nose and then taste - with these 3 #whisky s - in this left to right order: Toki (so light and so much like a Scotch), Jameson, then the Speyside Glenrothes I picked up some time ago. Oddly the last is smooth and full bodied but but hmm - will have to finish with something else

Winding down the year - just a wee dram of this #bourbon for an impromptu tasting/flight this fine evening
