The Quick Step is a modern cocktail created in 2015 by Natasha David at Nitecap in New York City. A smoky, agave-forward twist on the Gin Martini, it pairs mezcal and pepper-infused tequila with blanc vermouth and peach liqueur for a dance of heat, smoke, and subtle sweetness in every sip.
Add mezcal, blanc vermouth, jalapeño tequila, and crème de pêche to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a julep strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
