This Hot Buttered Mezcal Cocktail Set is tailor-made for cozy nights by the fire, perfect for sipping on chilly autumn evenings or during winter's frosty embrace. The smoky Pierde Almas mezcal shines in warm, spiced cocktails, while the rich Demerara syrup and aromatic bitters add depth and complexity – try it in a twist on classic hot toddies or buttered rum drinks, or experiment with smoky variations of your favorite winter warmers. Pair this comforting concoction with hearty stews, roasted meats, or dark chocolate desserts to complement its robust flavors.

Nose: Smoky agave and citrus peel aromas mingle with warm butter and brown sugar notes. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg add spicy depth, while a subtle earthy undertone reminds of the mezcal's origins.

Palate: Rich and velvety texture coats the mouth. Toasted agave and caramel flavors lead, followed by a balance of smoky mezcal and sweet demerara syrup. Baking spices from the bitters provide complexity. The butter element is present but not overpowering, adding a smooth roundness.

Finish: Long and warming. The smoke from the mezcal lingers, accompanied by fading notes of butterscotch and clove. A slight peppery bite emerges at the end, leaving a pleasant tingle on the tongue. The overall effect is comforting yet intriguing, inviting another sip.

This Hot Buttered Mezcal cocktail set combines the smoky allure of Pierde Almas La Puritita Verdá Mezcal with the rich sweetness of Liber & Co Demerara Gum Syrup and the complex spice of Angostura Bitters. What's fascinating about this kit is how it brings together artisanal ingredients from different parts of the world: the mezcal is crafted in small batches in Oaxaca, Mexico, using traditional methods, while the gum syrup is made in Austin, Texas, using high-quality Demerara sugar from Guyana, creating a truly global drinking experience.

• The Pierde Almas La Puritita Verdá Mezcal used in this hot buttered cocktail set is made from wild agave Espadín plants that are over 12 years old, resulting in a uniquely complex and robust flavor profile that can stand up to the rich butter and spices.
• The Liber & Co Demerara Gum Syrup included in the set contains natural gum arabic, which gives the cocktail a silky mouthfeel and helps emulsify the butter, creating a smooth texture that doesn't separate even as the drink cools.
• This hot buttered mezcal variation originated in Oaxaca, Mexico, where it's traditionally served during the Day of the Dead celebrations as a warming libation to honor ancestors and ward off the chilly autumn nights.
