Mexican Cosmo

Mexican Cosmo is a smoky, sophisticated reimagining of the iconic 90s classic. It shakes up 50 ml of Mezcal Viviente with 25 ml of tart, unsweetened cranberry juice, 15 ml of orange liqueur (Controy or Cointreau), 15 ml of fresh lime juice, and 15 ml of simple syrup to perfectly round out the bright, tart fruit notes. Shaken vigorously with ice and strained into a chilled martini glass, this striking ruby-red cocktail is elegantly finished with a slice of dehydrated orange floating right on top.

Ingredients:

  • 45 ml of Mezcal Viviente Cupreata

  • 30 ml cranberry juice

  • 10 ml simple syrup

  • 20 ml triple sec

  • 10 ml lime juice

  • Dehydrated lime for decoration

  • Orange juice

Instructions:

  • Add ice to the glass to chill.

  • Inside the shaker, add all the ingredients and shake with ice.

  • Pour into the glass without ice using a fine strainer.

  • Using a sprayer, pour orange juice to add fragrance and decorate with dehydrated lime.
