5th & Adams

5th & Adams is an exceptionally bright, multi-layered agave sour that masterfully highlights the affinity between smoky mezcal and vibrant orchard fruit flavors. Shaken to a frosty chill with sweet pear liqueur, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, and a dash of bright orange bitters, this refreshing, elegant cocktail is fine-strained into a coupe and beautifully garnished with a slice of candied ginger.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz. mezcal

• 1 oz. pineapple juice

• 3/4 oz. ginger syrup

• 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice

• 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Instructions:

• Combine all the ingredients in a shaker and shake with ice. Double-strain into a coupe. Garnish.

Ginger Syrup:

• Combine 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 Tbsp. of fresh ginger juice, and 1 Tbsp. of water in a blender and process until completely smooth and emulsified; it may take as long as 10 minutes. Use immediately.
