Written By Daniel Zajic

MEDICINA LATINA

  • 2 oz. / 60 ml. tequila blanco

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lime juice

  • ⅓ oz. / 10 ml. ginger syrup

  • ⅓ oz. / 10 ml. honey syrup

  • 1 barspoon mezcal, floated

METHOD
add all ingredients to shaker tin / add ice and shake until chilled / strain into glass over BFC / float mezcal on top of BFC / garnish with candied ginger (didn’t have any on hand)

ABOUT
This drink comes from Milk & Honey (NYC; now closed) and was published in the late Sasha Petraske’s book, “Regarding Cocktails.” This one is a riff of the modern classic Penicillin, which is a riff of a Gold Rush. There are so many great cocktails that came from this era, and this is no exception. Cheers y’all!
