Gin Mezcal Sour

Gin Mezcal Sour is a crisp, beautifully balanced hybrid sour that masterfully layers the clean botanical notes of London dry gin with the earthy, artisanal smoke of mezcal. Shaken with a frosty chill, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a splash of egg white for a luxuriously silky mouthfeel, this sophisticated and complex drink is fine-strained into a chilled coupe and finished with a dash of aromatic bitters.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml Hayman's London Dry Gin

• 45 ml Pineapple juice

• 7.5 ml Triple sec liqueur (40% alc./vol.)

• 7.5 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 10 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill an old-fashioned glass.

• Prepare a garnish of a pineapple wedge.

• Shake all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass.

• Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim.
