Modern
Single Village Fix
Mezcal pineapple fix
Thad Vogler's modern mezcal classic from Beretta in San Francisco. Pineapple syrup brings tropical sweetness that lifts mezcal's smoky agave character into something more approachable than a Mezcal Sour. The 'Fix' format is Jerry Thomas-era — spirit + citrus + syrup, shaken over crushed ice. The mezcal should be a single-village production rather than a blend; Del Maguey Vida is a common reference. Standard mezcal blends muddy the smoky profile.
