JARED SADOIAN OF CRAIGIE ON MAIN (853 Main St, Cambridge :: 617.497.5511)
HIS PICK Guelaguetza at Brick & Mortar (Guelaguetza Del Maguey Crema de Mezcal, crème de cacao, S. Maria al Monte Amaro, and lemon juice)
"Lately I've been hooked on Brick & Mortar's Guelaguetza whenever I hop over for a nightcap after work," says Sadoian. Created by Misty Kalkofen, the drink has "smoke, chocolate, bitters, and a touch of acid — a wonderfully balanced and refreshing drink. The scene at B&M is a lot of fun too, with great music every night and a totally friendly and welcoming staff."
