Espresso Oaxaca

Espresso Oaxaca is a rich, energizing cocktail that elegantly merges the artisanal smoke of Mezcal San Cosme with bold roasted coffee and botanical sweetness. It builds a robust, complex base by combining 1.5 oz of the espadín mezcal, 1 oz of espresso coffee, 0.5 oz of sweet red vermouth, and 0.5 oz of honey in a cocktail shaker. Vigorously shaken with ice until perfectly chilled and frothy, the dark, luscious mixture is strained into a short tumbler filled with fresh ice. This sophisticated after-dinner sipper is beautifully finished with a dusting of rasped (grated) chocolate, adding a luxurious layer of cocoa aroma that perfectly complements the earthy agave and bittersweet espresso.

  • .5 oz Honey
