Not much, but cocktails will make it into the book because I’m a homebar enthusiast. (See @gandgpress on IG) Plus, my wife and I like to host fundraisers for small non-profits in L.A. Check out www.mixologyonamission.com. The recipes here come from My Little Black Cocktail Book, a recipe journal I published to keep my favorites in one place. Get yours via www.mylittleblackbooks.com. This blog category is where I’ll post recipes of any cocktails that make it into this and future stories.

Guavosa (Roxanne Piedras’ favorite)
1 long squirt of guava puree
Champagne
Squirt the guava puree down the sides of the champagne flute and pour champagne. Wink at the person having a regular, OJ mimosa.

Bloody Maria
2 oz Mezcal
4 oz of your favorite Bloody Mary mix
Shake, pour over ice, in a glass rimmed with smokey gusano salt by Gran Mitla, and garnish with chicharron, of course!
