Mezcal Sour

Sunset Margarita (also referred to on their page as the Mezcal Sour) is a vibrant, tropical twist on the classic sour that beautifully highlights the clean, artisanal profile of Prolijo Mezcal Blanco. It builds a bright, sweet-tart base by combining 1.5 oz of the mezcal, 1.5 oz of fresh pineapple juice, 1 oz of lime juice, 0.25 oz of agave nectar, and 0.25 oz of orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Vigorously shaken with ice until thoroughly chilled, the lively mixture is single-strained into an elegant coupe glass. This fruit-forward, incredibly refreshing sipper is beautifully finished with a light dusting of cayenne pepper and a fresh strawberry garnish, delivering a perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and subtly spicy notes.
