History

A herbal variation on Audrey Saunders' French Pearl, using mezcal instead of gin.

Jim Meehan created this recipe in the winter of 2008. It appears in his 2011 book, The PDT Cocktail Book, where he states, "With the help of barman Euclides López, I fashioned a Mexican rendition of Audrey Saunders' French Pearl using two staples of Puebla Cuisine: mezcal and fresh oregano."
