Midnight Zone

Midnight Zone is a bold, spirit-forward cocktail created in partnership with Hotel June that perfectly channels the adventurous, earthy depth of La Tierra de Acre Cenizo Mezcal. It builds a complex, layered base by combining 2 oz of Cenizo mezcal, 0.75 oz of sweet banana liqueur, 1 oz of crisp blanco vermouth, and a few dashes of mole or chocolate bitters in a mixing glass. Gently stirred with ice until thoroughly chilled, the sophisticated mixture is strained into an elegant coupe glass. This intriguing, after-dark sipper is uniquely finished with a savory side-rim of sal de gusano, offering an alluring invitation to step outside your comfort zone.

Ingredients:

• 2oz Cenizo

• .75oz Banana Liqueur

• 1oz Vermouth (Blanco)

• A Few Dashes of Mole or Chocolate Bitters

• Sal de Gusano

Instructions:

• Dip the side of the glass in the sal de gusano and set aside. Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled and strain into a sal de gusano-dipped coup glass. Welcome to the midnight zone!
