Instructions

Eclipse of Oaxaca is a daring and sophisticated cocktail that marries the smoky allure of mezcal with the complex bitterness of three carefully chosen amaros. This drink is a celebration of depth and contrast, offering a unique tasting experience that lingers on the palate. Served in a chilled old-fashioned glass, it’s garnished with a flamed orange zest to highlight its aromatic profile. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Mezcal (choose a well-smoked variety for depth) - 0.5 oz Amaro Montenegro (for its light, citrusy bitterness) - 0.5 oz Averna Amaro (offering rich, caramel and herbal notes) - 0.5 oz Cynar (adds a vegetal bitterness that complements the mezcal) - 2 dashes of orange bitters (for a citrus kick) - Ice cubes - An orange peel (for garnish) Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the mezcal, Amaro Montenegro, Averna Amaro, Cynar, and orange bitters. 2. Add ice cubes to the mixing glass until it is about three-quarters full. 3. Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds, ensuring the ingredients are well combined and chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass filled with a large ice cube. 5. Take the orange peel and, using a match or lighter, briefly flame it over the drink to release the essential oils, then drop it into the glass as garnish. The Eclipse of Oaxaca offers a harmonious balance between the smoky notes of mezcal and the intriguing blend of bitterness and sweetness from the amaros. It's a drink that invites contemplation, making it perfect for sipping slowly and savoring every nuanced flavor.
