Large-format cocktails (aka punches) will be big in 2011. Here, we mix up a batch drink with the spirits of the moment, tequila and mezcal. And for extra 2011 trendiness, take it a step further: pickle the okra yourself and embrace DIY artisanship.

3 tablespoons okra pickling liquid, plus 6 to 8 pieces pickled okra (preferably smoked)
