Thanks Fred. Do we have any idea who was at table 11? Curated this to match the cited link. Thanks,  Zachary

The only one I know for sure is Kevin Upthegrove who does the 5 Minutes of Rum blog/podcast. He mentioned on my Instagram post that it was unnamed at the time and that he had dubbed it "The Man with the Golden Rum" to match the spy theme of the seminar. Here's his post & podcast about that drink which has a photo of the people seated at the table (but without names mentioned in the post or audio) other than his wife, Val Upthegrove. I've interacted with Val when she started selling Tiki-themed masks this spring (also does Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, and punk/goth ones) on Etsy and I just ordered my 4th a day or two ago. $5 goes to charity to support the staff of a famous Tiki bar in California during the Pandemic.

This works surprisingly well. One of the better baijiu cocktails I've had. I was using 20ml of grapefruit juice, because it was freshly squeezed and it was hard to get the exact amount with the measuring cups I used.

marquisexb commented on 5/20/2023:

This is really good. I was looking for something to do with the Nixta, and this fit the bill. I substituted Mezcal for the Raicilla, and did a heaping 1/4 oz of Ancho. Still it was great! Nice and bright flavors here.

Shawn C commented on 6/28/2023:

Quite tasty, using ingredients I am keen on (Ancho Reyes, cilantro). I used Sotol since I lacked Raicilla. I dropped the lime to 1/2+ oz since there is not much sweetness to balance the acidity, and my early season limes are quite tart and not that juicy yet. I think this could use 1/4 oz of simple syrup to finish it more like street corn, but otherwise it is spot on. Instructions aren't clear, so I salted the rim, although a mix of sugar and salt on the rim might be interesting...

The cilantro accentuates the corn flavor of the Nixta and the Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol I used blended well with both. This is precisely the sort of flavor profile I was hoping for when I picked up some Nixta.

endless_optimism commented on 3/28/2024:

Best Nixta cocktail I've had so far, even though I subbed Mezcal for Raicilla and had to leave out the cilantro because I didn't have any. Looking forward to trying it again when I get some!
