Instructions

Description: The Smoky Maple Sunrise is a visually captivating cocktail that blends the rich flavors of maple syrup with the smokiness of mezcal and the tartness of fresh blood orange juice. The highlight of this drink is the advanced mixology technique of infusing the mezcal with hickory smoke, which adds an intriguing depth and aromatic complexity. This cocktail is perfect for those who appreciate a balance of sweet, smoky, and citrusy notes. Ingredients: - 2 oz mezcal - 1 oz freshly squeezed blood orange juice - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 0.75 oz maple syrup - 0.5 oz Aperol - 2 dashes of orange bitters Garnish: - Blood orange wheel - Fresh thyme sprig Glass: Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. Start by infusing the mezcal with smoke. Use a smoking gun or a glass cloche with hickory wood chips to infuse the mezcal in a small decanter or a mixing glass. Fill it with smoke and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb the smoky aroma. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the smoked mezcal, blood orange juice, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with one large ice cube. 4. Gently pour the Aperol over the back of a spoon to create a layered sunrise effect. 5. Add 2 dashes of orange bitters on top. 6. Garnish with a blood orange wheel and a sprig of fresh thyme. 7. Serve immediately and savor the unique flavors as the smokiness mingles with the sweetness and tanginess of the cocktail.
