El Gallito (Pineapple-Chipotle Pitcher Cocktail)
This rare treasure, an umami-rich sweet/salty/smoky chipotle number, balances juicy pineapple with grassy, green cilantro. It straddles the line between sweet and savory: A handful of cherry tomatoes tamps down the fruity flavor without pushing the drink into full-on Bloody Mary territory. Plus, it makes its own salsa!
Fresh Cantaloupe Margaritas
Use ripe cantaloupe for this delicately-flavored margarita.
Cinnamon-Tamarind Margarita
This margarita is super tart and fresh, with the slightly earthy notes of tamarind and cinnamon coming through. Use a good 100% agave tequila, blanco or reposado. The spice of the tequila echoes beautifully though this cocktail, and a little Cointreau adds a hint of orangey sweetness.
La Condesa's Calimocho Manhattan
Simmering Mexican Coca Cola, brandy, and red wine down into a syrup provides body to this spin on a Manhattan from La Condesa in Austin, Texas. Rye and Punt e Mes coax out the syrup's complexity.
Tepache is an ancient Mayan pineapple spirit and La Condesa's version is "slightly fermented and has the spark of kombucha," according to Nate Wales. It's delicious in this unusual margarita.
