JOVEN ARTISANAL TEPEZTATE
Tepeztate (Agave Marmorata) is a wild agave that takes 15–25 years to mature. Its distillate is known for its herbal notes, a touch of cacao, and potent minerality. This cocktail uses vermouth and herbal bitters to honor, rather than hide, the untamed nature and unique complexity of this mezcal.
