jaguar nap

2 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Lime Juice (3/4 oz)
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
3 slice Cucumber
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cucumber slice and cayenne pepper.
Two Thursdays ago, I fired up the Bartender's Choice app and came across the Jaguar Nap by Matty Clark at Dutch Kills in 2017. Overall, it was just like Attaboy's Mexican Razor Blade but with bitters (although we made the Mexican Razor Blade a lot for guests at Drink with the suggested inclusion of jalapeño slices in with the cucumber for muddling since folks often asked for spicy tequila and mezcal drinks). The Jaguar Nap awoke with cucumber and chili pepper aromas. Next, a lime and vegetal sip pounced on smoky agave and cucumber flavors on the swallow with a dry baking spice finish that gained pepper spice over time.
