Carter Beats the Devil
Carter Beats the Devil is an iconic modern classic created by our good pal Erik Adkins for Flora Restaurant in Oakland way back in 2006. Essentially a Spicy Tommy's Margarita featuring Reposado Tequila, Mezcal, and a spicy kick from the addition of Fire Tincture, a concentrated infusion of hot peppers in high proof spirit that's added in dashes.
This is the Spicy Margarita that dreams are made of and we are so glad that it gets recognized in the canon of modern classic cocktail recipes. It is a versatile cocktail in that it works at nearly any of time of year, warm weather or cold.Â
