Lavanda y Yuzu

Lavanda y Yuzu is a bright, beautifully aromatic cocktail that marries citrus-forward energy with a gentle, calming sweetness. Shaken to a frosty chill and strained over fresh ice, it artfully combines smooth mezcal with a lively medley of fresh tangerine, lemon, and tart yuzu juices, balanced by a delicate lavender honey syrup and finished with a fragrant fresh lavender sprig.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Desolas Mezcal

  • 0.5 oz Fresh Tangerine Juice

  • 0.25 oz Yuzu Juice

  • 0.25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

  • 0.5 oz Lavender Honey Syrup

Instructions:

  • Fill a Rocks glass

  • Pour your cocktail ingredients into a shaker tin filled with mixing ice.

  • Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill, dilute, and aerate the drink.

  • Place a strainer over the shaker and pour the liquid into your prepared Rocks glass, leaving the used shaking ice behind.

  • Gently slap a fresh lavender sprig against your hand to release its aromatic oils, then place it on top of the drink as the final touch.
