Instructions

This cocktail is a bold fusion of heat, smoke, and tang, perfect for those who love a drink that packs a punch while offering a symphony of flavors. The Smoky Ember Citrus elevates mezcal's inherent smokiness with a hint of spice and a refreshing citrus undertone. A drink that's as invigorating as it is complex, it's made to ignite your palate and leave a lasting impression. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal (preferably one with a robust smoky profile) - 1 oz Fresh lime juice - 1/2 oz Agave syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference) - 1/4 oz Cointreau or another premium orange liqueur - 2 slices Fresh jalapeño (more if you prefer it spicier) - 1 dash Orange bitters - 2-3 Fresh cilantro leaves (optional for those who enjoy an herbal touch) - Smoked sea salt (for rimming the glass) - Ice cubes - Lime wheel or a thin slice of jalapeño (for garnish) Glass: - Serve in a rocks glass, rimmed with smoked sea salt to enhance the smoky flavor of the mezcal. Instructions: 1. Start by preparing your glass. Moisten the rim with a lime wedge and dip it into smoked sea salt. Set aside. 2. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the jalapeño slices gently with the cilantro leaves (if using) to release their flavors. Do not over-muddle to avoid making the cocktail too spicy or bitter. 3. Add the mezcal, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, Cointreau, and orange bitters into the shaker. 4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until well-chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Strain carefully to ensure no jalapeño seeds make their way into the drink unless you prefer an extra kick. 6. Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin slice of jalapeño placed on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of elegance and a hint of spice. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the complex layers of smoke, spice, and citrus that make the Smoky Ember Citrus a truly unique cocktail experience.
