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 shakers 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. Weve made this drink many times with whatever appropriate spirits we have on hand, and it turns out fantastic every time.
