How spicy did it end up being? I've been thinking over a spicy mezcal drink myself and have been waffling between fresh chiles or getting a bottle of Ancho Reyes
Well chilis would certainly be cheaper and easy to try first :) It was noticeably spicy, but that depends so much on how tolerant you are. You could amp it up or down by switching peppers. I like that, with peppers, you can add heat without really affecting the taste. I haven't tried Ancho Reyes, but I know ancho chili powder has a very intense, roasty flavor.
Gorgeous presentation!
Yay thanks!
2 oz 400 Conejos mezcal
Looks fantastic and I’ll bet it tastes great too - on my list!
I really enjoy that Mezcal <3
Ooh I'll keep an eye out
My absolute favorite Mezcal. And the story of the name written on the back is just choice.
