"Another fabulous Mexican spot is Xico, which boasts one of the largest collections of mezcal in the city in a breezy space full of natural colors, with a hidden patio out back. That collection is put to good use in the La Miela margarita, made with mezcal, lime, and a honey syrup instead of sugar or triple sec. The rim of each glass is lined with a hot chile worm salt, so imbibers can choose with each sip how hot the drink is." - Alex Frane
