Throughout the month of February Xochitl’s Chef Lucio Palazzo — the mastermind behind one of Grub Street’s top pork dishes — is serving a special Dish and Cocktail menu that pairs one of the restaurant’s specialty cocktails with a dish that’s been created to compliment it. With each week Xochitl will present a new pairing. This week Palazzo is matching up house-fried chicharrones with radish, mint and salsa verde with a Bochito, blanco tequila, Aperol, simple syrup and hand-squeezed lime.
