Instructions

This innovative cocktail transports you straight to an enchanting desert oasis, blending the smoky nuances of mezcal with the refreshing qualities of traditional tequila. The Desert Mirage is a symphony of flavors, featuring a unique mix of sweetness, spice, and everything nice, making it an unforgettable experience with every sip. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Tequila Blanco - 0.5 oz Mezcal - 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.5 oz Agave Nectar - 1 oz Prickly Pear Syrup - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters - 1 Egg White (for frothiness, optional) - Salt and Paprika Rim - Garnish: Dehydrated Lime Wheel and a sprig of Thyme Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing your glass. Combine equal parts salt and paprika on a small plate. Wet the rim of a chilled rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip it into the salt-paprika mix to coat the rim. 2. In a shaker, combine the tequila, mezcal, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, prickly pear syrup, orange bitters, and egg white if using. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds if you're using an egg white. This helps to create a frothy texture. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again for about 30 seconds or until well chilled. 4. Double strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. 5. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel and a sprig of thyme gently rested on top to evoke the essence of the desert after a rain. The Desert Mirage offers a complex, layered flavor profile that balances the smokiness of mezcal with the smooth, agave sweetness of tequila, while the prickly pear syrup adds a delightful hint of desert fruitiness. The salt and paprika rim introduces a subtle warmth that complements the cocktail's depth. Designed to awaken your senses and transport you to a mysterious desert landscape, this drink is as beautiful to behold as it is to taste.
