Instructions

Dive into the heart of Mexico with this innovative creation that fuses ancient flavors with modern mixology. The Mayan Twilight is a mezical-based cocktail that beautifully balances the smoky depth of mezcal with the tropical brightness of pineapple, complemented by the unique addition of corn foam and the intriguing complexity of huitlacoche syrup. The earthy touch of turmeric syrup and the sweet, corn essence of Nixta Liqueur add layers of depth, making each sip an exploration of flavor. **Glass:** Coupette **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice - 0.25 oz Huitlacoche Syrup - 0.25 oz Turmeric Syrup - 0.5 oz Nixta Licor de Elote - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 2 oz Corn Foam* - Garnish: A slice of dehydrated pineapple and a sprinkle of tajín **Corn Foam Instructions:** Blend 1 cup of sweet corn kernels with 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of agave syrup until smooth. Strain the mixture to obtain a clear liquid. Add the liquid to a siphon charged with one CO2 cartridge, and chill for at least 2 hours before use. **Huitlacoche Syrup:** Simmer 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of huitlacoche (corn fungus) for 15 minutes. Let it cool and strain. **Turmeric Syrup:** Simmer 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar and a 2-inch piece of turmeric root, thinly sliced, for 10 minutes. Let it cool and strain. **Cocktail Preparation:** 1. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine mezcal, pineapple juice, huitlacoche syrup, turmeric syrup, Nixta Licor de Elote, and lime juice. 2. Shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Double strain into a chilled coupette glass. 4. Carefully top with the corn foam to create a floating layer above the drink. 5. Garnish with a slice of dehydrated pineapple and a sprinkle of tajín. The Mayan Twilight is not just a drink; it's an adventurous journey through Mexico's rich culinary history, brought to life in a glass. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors that pays homage to the past with every sip.
