Mexican Firing Squad Cinco de Mayo Cocktail
If you think Old Bones is only for food, you need to reevaluate because you're missing half the party.
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, we enlisted our mate Iain from The Charleston to whip up a special little treat to spice up your isolation. Step aside Quarantini, and make way for the Mexican Firing Squad.
With a smokey mezcal to compliment our smoked garlic chilli sauce, lime juice as fresh as our chillis, and optional black truffle bitters for the ballers who want to add an extra vegetal note, be warned, this sweet little number is some easy drinking. Excuse me while I sinko about ten.
Here's how to make it at home...
