Pura Vida

A fantastic digestif that leans into the darker, roasted qualities of the agave spirit. It pairs mezcal with an Italian amaro (like Averna), rich espresso coffee liqueur, and a dash of orange bitters for a lightly smoked, earthy coffee profile.

Ingredients:

• 40 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 15 ml Amaro (e.g., Averna)

• 10 ml Galliano Espresso Coffee liqueur

• 1 dash Orange Bitters by Angostura

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a COUPE GLASS.

• Prepare a garnish of an orange zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Fine strain into a chilled glass.

• Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as a garnish.
