Firecracker

Firecracker is a vibrant, tropical sour that masterfully marries the grape-forward freshness of pisco with the sweet, delicate smoke of Crema de Mezcal. Shaken to a frosty chill with juicy pineapple, tart fresh lime, rich agave nectar, and a warming splash of allspice dram, this complex drink is fine-strained into a coupe glass beautifully rimmed with aromatic cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml BarSol Mosto Verde Italia Pisco

• 15 ml Del Maguey Crema de Mezcal

• 15 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 30 ml Pineapple juice

• 10 ml Pimento Dram/Allspice liqueur

• 10 ml Agave syrup (agave nectar)

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a coupe glass.

• RIM glass with cinnamon and sugar (moisten the outside edge with sugar syrup and dip into cinnamon powder).

• Shake all ingredients with ice.

• Fine strain into a chilled glass.

• No additional garnish. (The preprepared rim is garnish enough.)
