Instructions

The Sundown Serenity is a cocktail that perfectly captures the essence of a tranquil evening with a gentle touch of smokiness and a delightful contrast of flavors. It's designed to soothe the senses and offer a unique sipping experience that brings tequila and mezcal together in harmony. Served in a chilled old-fashioned glass, this cocktail balances the smokiness of mezcal with the smoothness of tequila, enhanced with a whisper of citrus and herbal notes. Ingredients: - 1 oz Mezcal (preferably a Joven for its clear, pure smoky essence) - 1 oz Reposado Tequila (aged for depth and smoothness) - 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice (for a tart citrus kick) - 1/2 oz Agave Syrup (for natural sweetness) - 1/4 oz Cointreau or Triple Sec (for a touch of orange flavor) - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters (for complexity) - Fresh Thyme (as garnish) - Orange Peel (as garnish) Instructions: 1. Fill a mixing glass with ice to chill. 2. Pour the mezcal, reposado tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and Cointreau over the ice. 3. Add the Angostura bitters. 4. Stir the mixture gently until well-chilled. 5. Strain the cocktail into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube. 6. Express the oil of the orange peel over the drink and place it in the glass. 7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme. Presentation: The Sundown Serenity should be presented with a warm glow, similar to a sunset, illuminating the drink's varied hues. The sprig of thyme represents the earthiness while the orange peel adds a splash of color and aroma that invites the first sip. The large ice cube ensures a slow dilution, preserving the drink's integrity from the first taste to the last.
