With the weather turning for the worse, it is the perfect time for warming alcohol forward cocktails and Home Base with its tropical spice and agave notes hits the all the right spots.

Cocktail is split base, between aged, mellow vegetal agave notes of reposado tequila and bold smokiness of mezcal. Both bringing their best qualities to the forefront of this cocktail. Spirits are then reined in by the deep chocolate sweetness of crème de cacao and tropical spices of allspice dram as well as clove, cinnamon and cardamom notes of Angostura bitters. These modifiers take the agave forward cocktail and turns it into a real grown-up dessert meant to be savoured and enjoyed slowly.

Home Base is a deceptively simple, yet deliciously complex cocktail. Perfect drink for tequila and mezcal lovers.
