History

When I saw a reference to Paul McGee's Rum River Mystic, I remembered how much I enjoyed it and wondered if I could make a riff on it. Since I had been inspired by the mezcal-Fino sherry duo, I swapped them in for the original's rye and rum (or two rums depending on the recipe). Trying to keep the alliteration and location themes going, I dubbed this one the Mayan Mountain Mystic.
