Mezcalove
Mezcalove is a romantic, beautifully layered pink cocktail designed to surprise someone special on Valentine's Day. It begins by muddling sliced fresh strawberries into a rich pulp directly inside a cocktail shaker. Combined with sweet orange liqueur, tart fresh lime juice, creamy cream of coconut, and artisanal mezcal, the mixture is shaken with ice and strained into an old-fashioned glass beautifully rimmed with fresh lime and pink salt. Finished with a fizzy top of pink grapefruit soda, this dreamy, bittersweet creation is garnished with a fresh strawberry skewer.
Ingredients:
60 ml Mezcal Mitre Origen
30 ml Orange liqueur
20 ml Coconut Cream
20 ml Lemon juice
Pink salt
45 ml Pink grapefruit soda
3 Strawberries
Instructions:
In a shaker, place two sliced strawberries and muddle them until all the juice is extracted and you have a pulp. Add orange liqueur, lemon juice, coconut cream, and Mezcal Mitre Origen. Fill the shaker halfway with ice and shake for 15 seconds. Fill an old-fashioned glass halfway with ice, rimmed with lemon and pink salt, and serve. Top with a splash of pink grapefruit soda.
