    Just in time for the cooler temps we’re expectin Just in time for the cooler temps we’re expecting later this week, the Booze Fairy delivered this M&M Cocktail Box from SF-based @bittersandbottles! The kit has everything you need to make the M&M (Montenegro and Mezcal, or Monte y Mezcal) - 50ml minis of @amaromontenegro & @elsilencio, along with @dardimans Crispy Orange Slices for garnish. The instruction card says to measure out 25ml each of the Monte and El Silencio; or “make it a double” and pour it all into a rocks glass, then stir with ice. Guess which one I did? 😜 Originally a bartender’s handshake, the M&M is a well-balanced sipper with smoke, sweet and bitter - right in my wheelhouse. 🥃 #thirstyinla #amaromontenegro #elsilencio #bittersandbottles #mezcalmonday
