Oaxacan Maid

Oaxacan Maid is an exceptionally crisp, garden-fresh Sour variation that brings a cooling, herbaceous brightness to a smoky agave profile. Shaken with a muddled medley of fresh mint leaves and juicy cucumber blocks, it features a clean base of silver mezcal, tart lime juice, and simple syrup before being double-strained over fresh ice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Xicaru Silver

  • ¾ oz lime juice

  • ¾ oz simple syrup

Instructions:

  • 4-5 mint leaves and 1" piece of cucumber muddled; shake and double strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with a cucumber wheel and a mint sprig.
