ABOUT
This one is by Matthias Soberon (@servedbysoberon). It uses Mexican cane juice rum, which is similar in style to rhum agricole blanc with its grassy, earthy notes. Pineapple adds sweetness and pairs well with spice. A little mezcal over the top brings a nice amount of smoke on the nose. Cheers y’all!
