No. 8
The Kings Ginger helps emphasize the delicately earthy flavor of unsmoked Fidencio mezcal in this refreshing spin on the Paloma from John McCarthy of Whitehall and Mary Queen of Scots in NYC.
Notes: If you can't track down the Fidencio Sin Humo, use a white tequila—the smokiness of other mezcals would likely overpower the other flavors in this drink.
Don't use bottled juices for this drink—squeeze them fresh.
