The Recipe

A Blend Worth Whispering About

Every jar follows the same gospel — measured by the gram, not by the rule. This is what goes in.

Pasilla brings the smoke, agave brings the curve, blanco tequila brings the confidence. The cinnamon stick is non-negotiable.
An Honest Word About the Tequila
We don't distill tequila. No one in pickling does. We buy Espolòn Blanco — a 100% blue agave tequila from Los Altos, Jalisco — over the counter in the United States, then blend it into every jar by hand. The spirit in your jar costs us roughly what it costs you at the liquor store — and we wear that cost on the label, not in the small print. No mixto. No "natural flavours." Not affiliated with or endorsed by Espolòn or Campari. Just an independent buyer with a recipe and a receipt.
The Method

Slow Cured. Hand Sealed.

No vats. No shortcuts. Three steps, executed with the patience of a vintner and the manners of an outlaw.

01

Toast & Bloom

Pasilla, allspice, coriander, clove and cinnamon are dry-toasted to wake the oils, then bloomed in warm apple vinegar.

02

The Pour

Blanco tequila and agave are folded into the cooled brine. Cucumber and shallot are packed by hand, jar by jar.

03

21-Day Cure

Each jar rests three weeks in the dark. We pull the seal only when the brine glows the right shade of amber.

What Arrives at Your Door
  • The Reserve Jar — 16 oz, hand-blended with Espolòn Blanco (100% agave, Los Altos, Jalisco), bought over the counter in the US. Not flavouring. Not extract. The actual bottle.
  • Felt-lined keepsake box — branded, magnetic-close, built to display or gift on arrival.
  • Numbered certificate of authenticity — your jar number out of 1,000, signed and dated by the maker.
  • The recipe card & serving guide — three pours, two snacks, one cocktail worth memorising.
  • Tracked shipping included within the continental US — no surprises at checkout.
  • Allocation guarantee — if your jar arrives broken or you're not converted, we replace it or refund. No hoops.

Roughly the price of two craft cocktails — but this one shows up in a box, lasts six months in the fridge, and serves twelve.
