It's hard to deny that spaghetti squash seems like a head-scratcher of a cocktail ingredient, much like tequila feels a little more sand and surf than sweaters and scarves. But in the Comrade, the woodsy depth of spaghetti squash and innate vegetative notes of tequila sally forth in entirely novel ways, shining a light on their versatility. Drinks pro Vance Henderson cooks the spaghetti squash down into a fragrant cordial, combining it with granulated sugar, rosemary and vodka. That cordial is shaken with reposado tequila, Drambuie (a liqueur made from scotch, honey, herbs and spices), dry sherry, chocolate bitters and Angostura bitters. The end result is a cocktail that's earthy, savory and mildly spiced, so it's perfect for sipping during the fall and winter seasons. Make the Comrade the next time you crave a Pumpkin Spice Latte or other gourd-based beverage, and you'll be rewarded with a surprising and flavorful drink.
