Vaquero
0
A stirred, spirit-forward drink of rye, mezcal, Suze and Bénédictine with Angostura and a lemon twist. Smoky and gentian-bitter, with herbal sweetness and a peppery rye finish. Created by Frederic Yarm at Drink in Boston, MA, in 2022.
Frederic Yarm created the Vaquero at Drink in Boston in 2022 while trying out gentian cocktails, after finding that gentian liqueur works well with both mezcal and Benedictine. The ratio of three parts rye to one part mezcal follows the example of recipes from Death & Co., and the name means cowboy.
