LA beverage director and agave spirits enthusiast Max Reis was inspired by Las Vegas bartender Giuseppe González’s own Margarita riff, the Infante. “I wanted to create a rendition that evokes a sense of nostalgia while incorporating an unconventional homemade orgeat,” says Reis. “My mind immediately went to the classic Mexican peanut candy De La Rosa Mazapán. Transforming this familiar candy into a house orgeat not only provides a strong nostalgic connection for anyone who grew up with Mexican candy, but also simplifies what is typically a labor-intensive syrup into something easily achievable, even at home.”
