Cuishe Ritual

Cuishe Ritual is a sacred, unadulterated tasting experience focused on honoring the distinct flavor profile of Mezcal Creyente Cuishe. To fully appreciate the wild, herbaceous, and intensely earthy characteristics of this unique wild agave variety, 1.5 oz of the mezcal is poured entirely neat into a traditional, ribbed veladora glass. It is presented on a rustic coaster with a mound of rich worm salt (sal de gusano) and a fresh grapefruit wedge. Alternating slow sips of the crisp spirit with a taste of the salted grapefruit highlights the mezcal’s savory, mineral notes.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Creyente Cuishe Mezcal

• Ice cubes

• Dehydrated fruit wheel (such as pineapple or lemon to complement the Cuishe)

Instructions:

• Prepare the glass: Fill a jícara cup (or a standard rocks glass) with ice cubes.

• Pour: Pour the Creyente Cuishe Mezcal directly over the ice.

• Smoke the garnish: Using a culinary torch, gently kindle your dried fruit wheel until it begins to smoke and releases a smoldering aroma.

• Garnish: Place the smoked fruit wheel into the cup and serve immediately.
