Fortunately, Wyatt Fee was nearby, from the growing cast of Tucsonâs spirituous storytellers, to explain.
The scene was El Mezquite Grill & Taqueria, in the new DoubleTree by Hilton Tucson Downtown Convention Center, and I had the opportunity to preview the property shortly before it opened. My visit included a tasting from their inaugural menu with that clothespinned cocktail serving as the eveningâs introduction.
âWe wanted to create a menu of unique and bespoke cocktails that would be memorable and talked about,â said Fee, manager of the new hotel at 280 S. Church Avenue. That I was even having this conversation with him suggested his accomplished mission.
