Tequila seems to always pair well with red fruits and raisin flavors, so this clever cobbler riff from Sean Kenyon at William & Graham in Denver ticks all of our boxes.
Blackberries and raspberries can be tricky to use in a drink without getting seeds in your teeth. For this drink, you should double-strain – pour from your shaker’s strainer through a fine mesh sieve.
The Mexican Gentleman is flexible in terms of the tequila, mezcal, and sherries you select. Kenyon uses Hidalgo-La Gitana manzanilla sherry and Lustau Pedro Ximenez sherry, along with 7 Leguas reposado tequila and Del Maguey Vida mezcal. We’ve made this drink many times with whatever appropriate spirits we have on hand, and it turns out fantastic every time.
