At new Upper East Side cocktail bar Jeremy’s, bar manager Ricardo Echeverri’s take on a dirty Martini swaps the expected gin or vodka for San Bartolo Mezcal. In homage to the briny classic, this version is shaken rather than stirred and garnished with a coppa-stuffed olive. The drink is named after the iconic Mets player and guest star on Seinfeld, Keith Hernandez.
