Medicina Latina Recipe

Recipe By Cocktail Party

The medicina latina is a riff on the penicillin from legendary mixologist sasha petraske, documented in his posthumously published book regarding cocktails. Petraskes life was tragically cut short before the book could be completed, so his wife and a legion of friends worked together to complete the book as a tribute to his legacy. And what a tribute it is The entry for the medicina latina is written by marcos tello, who learned the recipe when petraske flew to los angeles to visit tellos bar varnish and study techniques and classic recipes together. Tello passes on petraskes tips for the drink: it should be shaken and strained over a big rock of ice, and the mezcal should be delicately layered on top so that the drinker smells smoke before tasting the brightness of the lime, honey, and ginger. Petraske used a 1: 1 housemade ginger syrup, and a 3: 1 honey syrup for cocktails he made at milk + honey, where the medicina latina was invented. We typically only keep 1: 1 syrups on hand, so weve modified the recipe; keep that in mind if your syrups are richer.
