Blood Orange Sour

Blood Orange Sour is a sophisticated, beautifully textured twist on a classic sour that showcases the herbal and mineral complexity of wild agave. It shakes up 2 oz of Bozal Tepeztate Mezcal with 1 oz of sweet, ruby-red blood orange juice, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.75 oz of agave syrup. Shaken with ice alongside a medium egg white to create a velvety, cloud-like foam, the mixture is strained neat into an elegant coupe glass. This visually striking drink is finished with a thin slice of a fresh blood orange wheel.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Bozal Tepeztate Mezcal

• 1 oz Blood orange juice

• 0.75 oz Agave syrup

• 0.5 oz Lemon juice

• 1 Medium egg white

• Blood orange wheel (for garnish)

Instructions:

• Combine: Add the Bozal Tepeztate Mezcal, blood orange juice, agave syrup, lemon juice, and egg white into a cocktail shaker.

• Shake: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 7–10 seconds to chill and emulsify the egg white.

• Strain: Pour the mixture through a strainer into a coupe glass.

• Garnish: Drop a fresh blood orange wheel into the glass before serving.
