Lust for Life

The Lust for Life cocktail was originally crafted by bartender Joaquín Simó at Pouring Ribbons in NYC, and it’s been a quiet classic ever since. With earthy mezcal, tropical pineapple, citrus, and nutty orgeat, it’s layered, vibrant, and surprisingly approachable.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. Mezcal 

• 1 oz. Sherry

• 1 oz. Orgeat (we used Liber & Co.)

• ¾ oz. Lemon Juice

• ¾ oz. Pineapple Juice

• Garnish: Cocoa Powder 

Instructions:

• Add all ingredients to a Hybrid Cocktail Shaker with ice and shake for 15-20 seconds until chilled.

• Strain into a Hybrid Cocktail Glass over a large ice cube.

• Garnish with cocoa powder.
