Instructions

Description: This avant-garde cocktail combines the refreshing brightness of citrus with the deep, tantalizing smokiness of mesquite wood. The drink features a flavor-infused ice sphere that slowly releases bursts of herbaceous complexity as it melts. Perfect for adventurous palates seeking a sensory experience beyond the traditional cocktail. Ingredients: - 2 oz mezcal - 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice - 0.5 oz fresh lime juice - 0.75 oz agave syrup - 1 sprig of rosemary - Mesquite wood chips - 1 large ice sphere (pre-infused with rosemary and citrus zest) - Grapefruit twist for garnish Advanced Mixology Technique: Flavor-Infused Ice Sphere and Smoke Infusion Steps: 1. **Create the Ice Sphere:** - Combine water with a few sprigs of rosemary and zest from one grapefruit in a sealable bag or container. Let it infuse for 3-4 hours. - Pour the infused water into an ice sphere mold and freeze overnight. 2. **Infuse the Mezcal with Smoke:** - Prepare a smoke-infusing setup using a smoking gun and mesquite wood chips. - Place the mezcal in a smoke-proof container. - Fill the container with mesquite smoke using the smoking gun, then seal and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the smoky flavor. 3. **Prepare the Cocktail:** - In a cocktail shaker, combine the smoked mezcal, fresh grapefruit juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. - Add ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. 4. **Serve:** - Place the flavor-infused ice sphere in an old-fashioned glass. - Strain the cocktail mixture over the ice sphere. - Garnish with a grapefruit twist and a sprig of fresh rosemary. 5. **Final Touch:** - If desired, use the smoking gun to apply a wisp of mesquite smoke to the glass before serving. Trap the smoke under a glass dome and remove it just before the drink is enjoyed. Glass: Old-Fashioned Glass Enjoy the Smoky Citrus Elixr, a journey through contrasting flavors and aromas, heightened by the interplay of aromatic smoke and melting ice.
