History

The mezcal Margarita meets the Last Word may appear sweet, but the proportions are deceiving. The finished drink is surprisingly balanced with big flavours presented harmoniously.

This cocktail was created in 2017 by Sam Fraser at The Rockinghorse in Chichester, England. Fraser was inspired by Paulo Coelho's book 'The Alchemist', which he read while traveling. He states that the book's influence extended to his bartending, leading him to imagine exotic locales and elements like treasure, alchemists, crystal merchants, and sandstorms. His goal was to create a drink that was exotic in origin, taste, aroma, and appearance.
