Las Almendras

A brilliant spin on Jerry Thomas' classic Japanese Cocktail. This simple, stirred concoction highlights the deeply roasted flavors of mezcal alongside the sweet richness of almond orgeat and chocolate bitters.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. mezcal

  • ½ oz. Small Hand Foods orgeat

  • 3 dashes of chocolate bitters

Instructions:

  • In a rocks glass, stir the mezcal, orgeat and bitters together with a large ice cube. Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink, then drop it in. Add a cinnamon stick.
