THE NEXT BIG THING?
If you're a lover of earthy Mexican spirits, then we think this one may tickle your fancy
Psst, have you heard about Sotol?
So who?
Sotol, it’s a local spirit from Mexico.
What, like mezcal or tequila?
Hmm, kinda but not really. Rather than agave, it’s made from Dasylirion shrub, a plant from the asparagus family. Never heard of it but thanks for enlightening me. What does it taste like?
We’re talking about Nocheluna Sotol here, so in this particular instance: quite smooth, almost sweet and very, very mellow, with a nice creamy texture. There’s a touch of the herbaceous, verging on grassy about it, too. We like it. A lot. Nice! Does it work in cocktails?
Sure does. Try it mixed with pineapple juice and lime, with a sprig of mint, or simply serve with lemon soda. Sounds good. Anything else to note?
Did we mention that Lenny Kravitz is the (very cool) face of the brand?
Sold!
