Found: 1900 Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar (1523 Elizabeth Ave.)Ingredients: Prickly pear purée, lime juice, agave nectar, Mezcal, chili rim
Mezcal is a spirit with some seriously colorful origins. Cultivated in Oaxaca, Mexico, and long considered tequila's coarser sibling, it's a liquor that's deeply rooted in the area's cultural traditions.
