The Instinct Mezcal Sour
Mezcal, lime, agave, egg white & a chili thread — trusting your gut
Trusting your gut in a world of data — the Topalian way
Why this cocktail? In a data-driven world, Greg trusted his gut. Mezcal — raw, smoky, primal — captures that instinct.
The Story
Greg Topalian always trusted instinct over analytics. This mezcal sour is raw at its core — the smoky, primal spirit of mezcal — precisely executed with lime and agave, and finished with a single chili thread that adds unexpected heat. Like Greg's best decisions, it's not safe, but it's right.
