Siesta del Sol

The Siesta del Sol is a refreshing mezcal cocktail that captures the essence of a sun-drenched siesta, combining the smoky notes of mezcal with the bright, crisp flavors of fresh citrus and herbal undertones. The cocktail is served in a chilled, salt-rimmed coupe glass, adding a touch of elegance to this invigorating libation. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice - 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 1/2 oz Agave Nectar - 1/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters - A pinch of Fresh Cilantro (finely chopped) - Grapefruit Peel and Cilantro Sprig (for garnish) - Kosher Salt (for the rim) Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing your coupe glass. Run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and dip it in kosher salt to create a salt rim. 2. In a shaker, combine the mezcal, pink grapefruit juice, lime juice, agave nectar, St. Germain, and orange bitters. 3. Add the finely chopped cilantro to the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared coupe glass, ensuring that no ice or cilantro pieces fall into the glass. 6. Express the oils of a grapefruit peel over the drink and then drop it in as a garnish, along with a sprig of cilantro for an aromatic finish. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of smoky, sweet, and citrus notes in your Siesta del Sol cocktail.
