Mandarin Mojito

Mojito de Mandarina is a bright, seasonal twist on the classic mint highball that highlights citrus energy and warming spice. Prepared by muddling fresh mandarins, mint leaves, and slices of spicy ginger together directly in a shaker with artisanal mezcal, the mixture is shaken with ice and double-strained into a highball glass. Topped off with bubbly mineral water, it is finished beautifully with a fresh sprig of spearmint.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml Mezcal Mitre Origen

• 2 Mandarins

• 4 Mint leaves

• 2 slices of ginger

• 90 ml mineral water

Instructions:

• In a shaker, combine the tangerines, mint leaves, ginger, and Mezcal Mitre Origen. Muddle until all the fruit juice is extracted, then add ice halfway. Shake for 15 seconds, then strain into a highball glass using the double-strainer technique.

• Garnish with a sprig of mint.
