Riffing on the popular Bay Area cocktail Carter Beats the Devil, bartenders at Hawker Fare found plenty to work with using the drink’s blueprint of tequila, mezcal, lime and chili. Pineapple and passion fruit syrups (Hawker Fare uses Small Hand Foods) complement the spice, and serving the mix frozen adds the final touch. “We like how crushed ice changes the drink as it melts,” says manager Christ Aivaliotis. “It softens the heat and tempers the sweetness of the syrups, while diluting everything.”
