    El Campechano

    At Cantina La Soga in San José de Gracia, Don Pilar's brother, Ramon, serves up this classic Highland tequila cocktail. Start with a rocks-filled highball glass, pour a couple ounces of the Don Pilar of your choice—try the Añejo, the oak adds an extra layer of butterscotch. Top the rest with any combination of Coke, Squirt and mineral water. Add a wedge of lime. Salúd.
