Description: The Aztec Sunburst is a vibrant and sophisticated cocktail that encapsulates the essence of Mexican craft in a glass. With a harmonious blend of bold and exotic flavors, this drink is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening. The complexity of ingredients, including a smoky mezcal base and a hint of heat from Ancho Reyes, is balanced with the refreshing sweetness of grilled pineapple and the tartness of fresh lime juice. The herbal notes of cilantro and the earthy touch of tajin seasoning on the rim elevate this cocktail to a new level of sensory delight. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal (preferably artisanal) - 1 oz Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur - 1 oz Grilled Pineapple Puree - 1/2 oz Agave Nectar - 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 3 Fresh Cilantro Leaves - Tajin Seasoning (for rim) - Pineapple Wedge and Cilantro Leaf (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Rim a chilled, double old-fashioned glass with Tajin seasoning by wetting the edge with a lime wedge and dipping it into the Tajin. 2. In a shaker, muddle the cilantro leaves with agave nectar to release their aromatic oils. 3. Add the mezcal, Ancho Reyes, grilled pineapple puree, and fresh lime juice to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. 5. Strain the mixture into the Tajin-rimmed double old-fashioned glass filled with fresh ice. 6. Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim and a cilantro leaf floated on top. The Aztec Sunburst offers a deep dive into the flavor palette of Mexico, bringing together smokiness, spice, sweetness, and acidity in a balanced and refreshing summer cocktail.
