History

Mezcal-forward, but in flavour rather than a spirituous way, indeed this bittersweet aperitivo is relatively restrained on the boozy front.

This recipe was adapted from a 2022 creation by Bryan Cranston, the star of Breaking Bad. It was originally made with Dos Hombres mezcal, a brand he cofounded with co-star Aaron Paul.
