Our first field trip was a great time and an opportunity to try some new cocktails, one with a rare ingredient. Mercadito and their bartender Justin welcomed us to their bar where they mixed us a few of their signature cocktails including the focus of our mission the Pepino el Pyu containing the hard to come by herb hoja santa. Charles joined me in sampling this delicious and refreshing little secret and Justin gave us a quick tour of the cocktail from the dried leaves, to the simple syrup infusion to the finished product.
