The Mezcal Martinez is a riff on the classic Martinez cocktail. Richard Elgar created it and first published it in the Difford’s Guide.

But, I think the most important factors to consider are your palate, how you’re going to use the spirit, and your budget. I can’t think of anything worse than splurging on a bottle of my favorite type of spirit and absolutely hating what I bought. So we decided to take the guesswork out of choosing a mid-range tequila. We bought bottles of ..read more
