Dawn at Casa Xamu

Amanecer en Casa Xamu is a sweet, beautifully aromatic cocktail that perfectly captures the bright essence of an Oaxacan sunrise while highlighting the organic, artisanal profile of Casa Xamu Espadín mezcal. It builds a vibrant, naturally creamy base in a cocktail shaker by combining 2 oz of the Espadín mezcal, 1 oz of fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz of fresh pineapple juice, 0.5 oz of rich agave nectar, and 0.25 oz of tart fresh lime juice. The mixture is shaken vigorously with ice until completely chilled, allowing the pineapple juice to emulsify into a rich, frothy, and luscious texture. Strained over fresh ice, this beautifully balanced, citrus-kissed sipper is elegantly finished with a fresh slice of orange for a perfect, sun-drenched presentation.
