Pairing Guacamole correctly — a note on mezcal

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Guacamole. I ordered it with mezcal and the bright and citrusy elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. masa harina in particular became more prominent in a good way.

pre-Columbian ingredients like corn, beans, and chilli form the foundation. The a family mercado lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Guacamole with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
