Mezcal Negroni Sour

A creative hybrid that drinks like a sour but tastes like a Negroni. It pairs mezcal with Campari, a fortified wine (Byrrh), fresh citrus juices, and an egg white for a bittersweet, frothy, and highly complex cocktail.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal

  • ½ oz. reposado tequila

  • ¾ oz. Byrrh

  • 1 oz. Campari

  • 2 dashes saline solution (1:1 water to Sel Gris)

  • 1 egg white (pasteurized, if you like)

  • ¾ oz. orange juice

  • ½ oz. lemon juice

Instructions:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a shaker and shake (without ice) to combine. Add ice and shake again. Double strain into a chilled coupe.
