Old Plaza Cocktail: The High Desert Vieux Carré

The Old Plaza Cocktail is a smoky and spicy twist on the classic Vieux Carré cocktail. It uses mezcal and pine liquor in place of rye whiskey and sweet vermouth, with optional infusions of red chiles, juniper berries, and lavender.

High Desert Eggnog Flip

The High Desert Eggnog Flip is a uniquely inspired concoction, drawing influence from the classic flip cocktail by renowned bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler. Blending eggs, sugar, milk, cream, mezcal, and cognac, this simplified method yields a delightful eggnog with the option for aging to enhance complexity, though a short chilling time still results in a superb drink, recommended to be enjoyed within a week for optimal freshness.
