Ferro's Perfect Lil' Devil, Mosto

Mosto is the Tacolicious Mission locations' next door tequila and mezcal bar. They offer a different food and cocktail menu. The food is Mexican street food oriented with bar snacks like chicharonnes and freshly carved Tacos Al Pastor. They offer a smaller set of cocktails than Tacolicious, but they are equally delicious. Ferro's Perfect Lil' Devil is perfect in it's pop of fizz and flavor from housemade ginger beer and beautiful color from cassis.

The Drink - Ferro's Lil' Devil, $9
Chinaco Blanco Tequila, Combier Cassis, lime and ginger beer

Per the cocktail menu, "this is our friend chris ferro's family ode to the classic el diablo cocktail - the original recipe - published in the trader vic's book of food & drinks circa 1946 - called for ginger ale, which had a similar kick to modern-day ginger beer."

La Paloma, Mosto

When I arrived on a Wednesday night at 7:30, it was standing room only at both Tacolicious and Mosto in San Francisco's Mission District.  I've been wanting to try Mosto, the tequila lounge for Tacolicious since it opened. But I've always been distracted with Tacolicious' Pasion.  Luckily I found my drinking companion already seated at the Mosto Bar.

There aren't as many cocktail choices at Mosto as the tequila pours are the focus.  Mosto's version of La Paloma is made with El Jimador Blanco tequila, St. Germain Eldeflower liqueur, grapefruit juice, and Jarritos toronja soda.  It's served with a pink peppercorn rim and a thick wedge of fresh grapefruit. This tasty light drink is simply refreshing. It pairs well with the limited street tacos on Mosto's snack menu (which is different from the Tacolicious menu).  Next time, I'll have to do the tequila flight!
