Last week, DBTH had the opportunity to head to PDT for an intimate cocktail tasting with proprietor Jim Meehan to sample several cocktails featuring Gran Centenario tequila. While tequila was the main event, we also had the chance to pick Jim's brain about cocktails, PDT, and what ingredients have him really excited for the upcoming fall menu at PDT.  One drink we tasted, the Fresa Verde, will be featured on said menu, and features Centenario Plata, fresh strawberries, green pepper, lime juice and pommegranate syrup. The drink  had a full, earthy taste that really enhanced the agave flavor. Dynamite. And as for the fall menu ...

Jim is predicting that apple cocktails will be all the rage. Don't think appletini either, especially when skilled craftsmen like Mr. Meehan are whipping up creations like the Gran Treacle, which includes tequila, NY state apple cider, agave syrup and Bittermens mole bitters. Outstanding. After several tequila cocktails, we were feeling pretty loose heading into the long weekend, but not so loose that we forgot to snap a few photos.
