Featured Cocktail: Agave Wild

BTG Bartending • May 20, 2021

Today's Cocktail: Agave Wild

We paired up with the legendary Michael Ng of BTG Bartending to create a series of Bad ass cocktails. It was an evening filled with laughs, fine cigars, and our Extra Añejo. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun.

Check out Michael's exclusive Bad Stuff recipe below, so you can make this masterpiece at home yourself! 
In a mixing glass:
  1. 4 Dashes of Peruvian Amargo Chuncho Bitters
  2. Muddle (1) thin slice of pineapple, (1) sprig of thyme, (1) Luxardo cherry
  3. Fill with half ice
  4. Pour 2 oz. of The Bad Stuff Anejo Tequila
  5. 0.75 oz. Sweet Vermouth
  6. Stir for 15 Seconds
  7. Strain & Pour into rocks glass with ice (oversized ice cube preferred-you can use an ice mold)
  8. Garnish with:
    • Dehydrated pineapple slice flower,
    • Thyme sprig (or flower if available)
    • Hibiscus leaf (optional)
    • Luxardo cherry

Dehydrated Pineapple Slice Instructions:
  1. Cut skin off pineapple
  2. Slice pineapple into paper-thin slices with a sharp knife (a mandolin also works very well for thin uniform slices)
  3. Dust with cinnamon powder
  4. Place slices into stick-free muffin pan and shape into each mold 
  5. Set oven to 200 degrees and bake for about 2 hours.

And for the Final Touch.... 
The Final Touch:

Light your favorite cigar (preferably one with flavors of spice/cinnamon - we used Casa Turrent 1901) and trap cigar smoke with cocktail in a dome and let it sit for 15 seconds to smoke the cocktail with the cigar smoke.


Enjoy your cigar and cocktail, and remember to tag us on Instagram in your recreations! 

CHEERS!
