![]() “You asked about this? It’s mezcal, orgeat, cynar, and an egg white … which is why I got it. ![]() Then, the guy from inside, still wearing his bicycle helmet, came out and sat down at another table, waiting for his tacos. The drink was good, smooth and lightly sweet with a nice texture, but my mood had hit the floor. Am I just broken? I asked myself as I sat at my table and waited. I’ve been wanting to talk to strangers in bars again for months, to find it in myself to walk up to strangers and strike up conversations during a time of plague, and now a stranger had walked up to me and … “Hey, what’s that drink?” he asked me, pleasantly. As I picked the drink up to go, a man wearing a bike helmet on his head walked into the bar. I waited for the drink at the bar, and was told the tacos would be brought to my table outside. I studied the menu, and, after a while, I went inside to order a Smooth Criminal (bruxo x mezcal, orgeat, lime, cynar, egg white, $15) and the happy hour al pastor tacos (three for $10). But with tequila, I’m honestly still at the stage where I shyly point to bottles and ask “is that good? It’s supposed to be good …” Whiskey, beer, wine, and to a lesser extent gin and rum, I have strong opinions about and I can fight for them to the death. I can tell you about tequila, sure a bit about the history, about how it’s made, factoids about the contemporary industry, but in terms of actually being familiar with the spirit, I don’t know nearly enough to have meaningful opinions. ![]() More specifically: When it comes to tequila, I certainly can. Sometimes you can learn a lot more with a curated list. That’s impressive, but it’s not the book of selections you’ll get at other speciality bars.īut sometimes, a simple menu is better. Mosto’s menu is very simple: one page, double-sided, with the front page devoted to cocktails, beer, wine, and food (it only lists six cocktails, seven beers, and two wines) and the other side entirely devoted to tequila and mezcal. Now, Mosto doesn’t have tequila and mezcal like Hard Water has whiskey or Smuggler’s Cove has rum (or even how The Monk’s Kettle has beer). The sign outside Mosto advertises it as a “little agave spirits bar” with “big mezcal energy!” It also advertises “al pastor straight from the trompo.”
