Our friends at K West Hotel & Spa (Richmond Way, London W14 0AX) sent us the recipe for a little something to get us through the festive season.
Head Mixologist at Studio Bar, Michal Golecki, shares his recipe for the exclusive ‘Sangre Mexicana’ Mezcal cocktail.
The ‘Sangre Mexicana’ is a classic Bloody Mary with a Mexican twist. The cocktail is mixed with La Penca Mezcal instead of vodka, and with chipotle instead of hot sauce. ‘La Penca’ Mezcal, made from 100% Agave, is aged in 220-litre American White Oak barrels for approximately two to six months.
