Espadín is the agave equivalent of the kid who’s good at everything and doesn’t make a big deal about it. It grows fast, it’s generous with sugar, and in the hands of a good mezcalero it can taste like a dozen different things. Koch grows it in Oaxaca, harvests it by hand, and double-distills it in copper the old way, no shortcuts. The result is fruity, a little sweet, toasted coconut, a wisp of smoke that knows when to leave. Roots in, mezcal out.

The King of Kong from Clive’s Classic Lounge in Victoria, BC brings together Giffard Banane du Brésil and Amaro Punico in a smoke show that ends table-side with an alder flame finish. Aged rum, chai bitters, and a whole lot of theatre.
Yes, banana liqueur can be cool. We have the receipts.

The Old Haitian is unaged rhum’s best argument for itself. Saint Benevolence Rum Rhum Clairin, dry curaçao, ginger, shaken hard and poured cold. Funky, citrusy, a little wild at the edges — exactly how it should be.
Recipe and pour courtesy of Dr. Dimitri, DPT|Cocktails|Mocktails 🇭🇹🥃.
