Instructions

Immerse yourself in the bold flavors of the Desert Mirage, a cocktail that captures the essence of a dusty sunset and the rugged charm of the wild. Served in a chilled Old Fashioned glass, this masculine concoction is perfect for tequila lovers who appreciate a drink with depth and character. Ingredients: - 2 oz Añejo Tequila - 1/2 oz Mezcal - 3/4 oz Agave nectar - 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice - 2 dashes Orange bitters - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - 1 pinch Smoked salt Garnish: - Orange twist - Sprig of fresh thyme Glass: - Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. Chill an Old Fashioned glass by filling it with ice, and set it aside as you prepare the cocktail. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the Añejo Tequila, Mezcal, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters. 3. Add a scoop of ice to the mixing glass and stir the ingredients until well-chilled. 4. Discard the ice from the Old Fashioned glass and sprinkle the pinch of smoked salt on the bottom of the glass. 5. Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared Old Fashioned glass over a large ice cube or sphere to maintain a slow dilution and keep the drink strong and flavorful. 6. Express an orange twist over the drink by giving it a firm twist, releasing the oils into the drink, and then drop it in. 7. Gently clap the sprig of fresh thyme between your hands to release its aromas and place it as a garnish. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the robust harmony of smoky, sweet, and herbal notes that define the Desert Mirage. This drink is the epitome of masculine sophistication, combining the complexity of aged tequila and the smokiness of mezcal with the earthy touches of agave and thyme. The smoked salt and bitter components add layers of flavor that will transport the drinker to a serene desert oasis.
