De Nada Reposado
Dependable, budget-friendly tequila can come in all shapes and sizes. For De Nada, it's an aluminum bottle — what the brand claims is the first of its kind in the agave industry. The spirit contained within is equally commendable, hitting a great balance of cinnamon, black pepper and cloves perfect for your next late-night paloma. MSRP $45.99.

Cocktail of the Week
Convite Sicaru'
Mezcal, absinthe, Green Chartreuse and grenadine are four ingredients you rarely find side by side — let alone all in the same cocktail. This oddball recipe from Convite finds a fascinating balance between its many influences, ultimately honing in on big flavors of citrus, smoke and spice that are far more accessible than its potion-pink hue might suggest. We'd recommend trying this with friends and comparing notes.
Ingredients
1 oz Convite Mezcal Una
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
1/2 oz Absinthe
1/2 oz Luxardo Grenadine Syrup
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
Directions
1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled, 15-20 seconds.
2. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
