After Drink, the party bus whisked us away from Fort Point, up Mass Ave, and into Central Square, Cambridge. Our destination was Brick & Mortar, and we were greeted with a small version of Sufrimiento de Simon to showcase the Eight Six Co's tequila. On the menu were a larger format of this drink as well as several other tequila cocktails including the El Ranchito with peach tea syrup and Suze gentiane liqueur which I tried.
The Sufrimiento de Simon showcased a fruity lemon aroma. The citrus continued on into the sip along with a berry note from the sloe gin. The swallow then provided tequila, coffee, and pineapple flavors with growing clove notes. Indeed, Misty utilized the agave-sloe gin combination that worked great in her Gail Collins, but overall, the libation reminded me more of the Lani Kai Sling with additional coffee notes (besides a change of base spirit).
