Instructions

Description: The Eclipse of Oaxaca is a smoky, bold, and citrusy cocktail that marries the earthy tones of mezcal with the crispness of tequila, symbolizing the merging of two celestial bodies in a flavorsome eclipse. With a touch of sweetness, spice, and a hint of herbal notes, this drink is perfect for savoring during a tranquil evening or to impress guests with something out of the ordinary. Ingredients: - 1 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Silver Tequila - 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 1/2 oz Agave Syrup - 1/4 oz Triple Sec - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - 1 small slice of Jalapeño (seeds removed) - Fresh Cilantro Leaves (a small handful) - Smoked Salt (for rimming) - Lime Wheel (for garnish) - Cilantro Sprig (for garnish) Instructions: 1. Start by rimming half of a chilled Old-Fashioned glass with smoked salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around half the rim of the glass and dip it into the smoked salt. Fill the glass with ice and set it aside. 2. In a shaker, muddle the jalapeño slice and cilantro leaves gently just to release their flavors. Avoid pulverizing them to prevent the drink from becoming too spicy or grassy. 3. Add the mezcal, tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, triple sec, and orange bitters to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and properly mix the ingredients. 5. Double strain the mixture into the prepared Old-Fashioned glass to remove small bits of cilantro and jalapeño. 6. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of cilantro for aromatic appeal. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the layered complexities of the Eclipse of Oaxaca.
