Bartender Says: "This is the only cocktail in the city to include pulque (fermented agave), which is very common in Mexico but almost never found outside of it. Combining pulque with fresh watermelon juice mellows its fermented taste and the mezcal gives it a perfectly potent kick." —Nicolas O'Conner, Head Mixologist

1 3/4 oz. of homemade fresh watermelon pulque
1 oz. mezcal
1 oz. agave lime
Watermelon for garnish
Cilantro for garnish
