La Vive: A Mezcal Espresso Martini

A dark, roasty, and highly caffeinated nightcap that proves mezcal belongs in coffee cocktails just as much as vodka or rum. The natural chocolate and leather notes of the agave spirit pair flawlessly with fresh espresso and coffee liqueur.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. mezcal

  • 3/4 oz. coffee liqueur

  • 1 oz. espresso

  • 1/2 oz. orgeat

  • 2 dashes Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters

Instructions:

  • Combine ingredients in a shaker tin with ice and shake to chill. Fine strain into a coupe glass and garnish.
