Late August in the High Alpine -- Cutthroat trout slash a royal wulff with pure abandonment. Vibrant wildflowers blossom along the valley floor as the scent of balsam and spruce swirl in the breeze. The high noon sun is gloriously relentless and the alpine angler's thirst needs quenching. Low bush huckleberries cling to the moss-covered crags-alluring with that sweet and tart taste.

Enter mezcal: rich, mysterious and packs a punch. A 1/4 hand full of hucks, a 1/2 shot of agave nectar, 1/2 a lime sliced thin with your old pocket knife and a 2oz pour of mezcal - muddle that up with any 'ol branch. Add a handful of ice and shake shake shake (we suggest in our Highball Shaker).

A bit more ice in your tumbler, a splash of club soda, pour and enjoy... as the sun sets along the granite spire.

Ingredients

2 oz Nosotros Mezcal
1 tsp agave nectar
1/4 cup of fresh huckleberries
1/2 lime
Soda water

Directions

Add berries, mezcal, lime and agave to your Highball shaker and muddle.
Add ice and shake vigorously.
Strain into an ice-fill tumbler.
Top with soda water, garnish with a lime.

Being Your Own Bartender On The Northern Coast Of Maine

Old Orchard Beach, Maine is often associated with carnival vibes. However, its incongruent restrictions on open containers on its beaches make it an ideal location for field testing Highcamp Flask’s Firelight 750. From most angles within ten or so blocks of the pier, passersby can see the spinning Ferris Wheel and the whirling, twisting lights of another such ride that draws crowds of sticky-fingered children herded by red Solo cup adults. This is not my scene, but I begrudge those who seek it out not at all. Give me the quiet cove of sand behind the family sun tents and castle-crushing waves where I recline unnoticed while taking it all in.

The Best Whiskeys For the Backcountry

July 27, 2022

The case for drinking barrel strength whiskey on your next extended walk in the woods.
It's Thursday night and you’re packing for an extended weekend backpacking trip. You're gathering the minimum amount of supplies required to isolate in the woods for the next 4 nights and you’re being faced with a variety of tough decisions: Should I bring deodorant? How many toilet paper rolls do I need? Will I need a rain jacket? etc… From our perspective, no decision deserves more scrutiny than how much whiskey you decide to pack to ensure that your 6-shooter tumbler is filled with something delicious at each night’s campfire.
