10 LA Restaurants With Great Cocktails - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Regardless of which Madre location you go to, you’ll find yourself at one of the best spots in the city for great Oaxacan food and all things mezcal. However, the Fairfax location in particular has a whopping 500+ bottles of mezcal to choose from, making it the de facto LA bar for mezcal fans who want an exciting (if not overwhelming) amount of options. The bar’s smoky margarita with sal de gusano is a must-try and mildly spicy (thanks to chile liqueur), but we also recommend the frozen rosé, made with grapefruit and reposado tequila—it’s the only version of this overdone trend that we’ll openly admit to loving." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
