Today is National Tequila Day, and there’s never been a better time to get into tequila. If you haven’t touched the stuff since your college days, you might be surprised by what modern craft tequilas have evolved into. While you’ll still find your dubious mixtos on supermarket shelves, there are also a huge range of high quality, sustainably produced tequilas which use traditional methods and ingredients.

Created for the first bar program Kitty Bernardo ran in New York City in 2023, this simple, thoughtful Martini variation might seem like a surprise coming from a bartender at Paradise Lost, better known for a maximalist approach to drink-making. But according to Bernardo, the simplicity of the drink aligns with a style of bartending they have been developing since moving to New York in 2018, and reflects the types of drinks they personally enjoy. Inspired by their late best friend, who pushed them to pursue their passion for bartending, the Tiny Sparrow Martini “is a love letter to our friendship—this cocktail combines elements of both our Vietnamese and Filipino cultures, creating a more sessionable and unapologetically Southeast Asian Martini.”
