Mezcal Ruby

Mezcal Ruby is a sophisticated, spirit-forward cocktail that elegantly balances the artisanal warmth of Mezcal San Cosme with rich, bittersweet Italian modifiers. It builds a silky, complex base by combining 1.5 oz of the espadín mezcal, 1.5 oz of sweet Vermouth Rosso, and 0.25 oz of herbaceous Fernet Branca in a mixing glass filled with large ice cubes. The mixture is stirred precisely for twelve revolutions with a bar spoon to achieve a perfectly chilled, luxurious texture without over-diluting the spirits. Strained elegantly into a classic martini glass, this deeply aromatic, ruby-hued sipper is beautifully finished with a fresh orange peel to brighten its dark botanical notes.
