  • This is a drink for grown-ups.
  • Shockingly smooth for how strong it is. Sotol is front and center.
  • Strong 4 — ★★★★
  • Made it per Punch spec (with blanco tequila), lacking Sotol. Like The Rebennack but smokier.

Rafa,

Yeah, but Punch is wrong ;) The Sotol makes the drink.

Thanks,

Zachary


Ha. I'll have to try it with the Sotol then. I keep hearing great things about this drink from Texan friends.

I wonder if they did that because it's hard to get sotol in many places, similar to why the NYT published the Oaxaca Old Fashioned with Ango instead of mole bitters.
