Explorer’s Spritz

Explorer's Spritz is a light, sparkling, and highly aromatic cocktail designed to evoke a sense of effortless vacation relaxation. Built directly in a wine glass filled with fresh ice, the recipe elegantly layers 1 oz of bright The Lost Explorer Mezcal (or Tequila Blanco) with 1/2 oz of sweet, floral St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. It is then topped with 2 oz of sparkling tonic water for a crisp, effervescent finish. A light stir integrates the floral and agave notes, and the drink is beautifully completed with an expressed rosemary sprig and a few red peppercorns, or a simple lemon twist.

Ingredients:

• 1½ oz / 45 ml The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín

• ½ oz / 15 ml St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur

• 2 oz / 60 ml Tonic water

• Garnish: Rosemary sprig and red peppercorn, or lemon twist

Instructions:

• Fill a spritz wine glass with ice. Pour all ingredients into the glass and stir with a mixing spoon. Express a rosemary sprig or lemon twist over the drink and use it as the garnish. Slip into vacation mode.
