BEETS and booze are the thing! When I created this recipe I had been saving two little bottles of MEZCAL that I bought at ACRE restaurant in Baja, Mexico. I used those bottles to sample the many forms of beet syrup I made while testing and retesting this recipe. It’s pretty hard to find Mezcal here that’s as good as what we had at Acre; although finding one a Mezcal that highlights the smoky fire the agave plant’s pina (or heart) is cooked over for three days without being overpowering the flavor is worth the search.
At Flora Farms with my girls! Flora is a MUST if eating anywhere near San Jose del Cabo, MX
A good one that has been recommended to me is Wahaka -- this can be purchased at any good liquor store (link) with a special order.
At Acre! This treehouse/restuarant haven is amazing.
Flora Farms also has a market with local produce - GORGEOUS.
Enjoy one my favorite cocktails -- recipe link here!
The Beet Margarita at Flora Farm -- so good although I don't love the fussy garnish on this one.
On a Lark,
