Red Brick Kitchen's Mezcal Cocktail

A beautifully spiced and complex cocktail straight from the Red Brick Kitchen. It layers mezcal with a thoughtful blend of complementary spirits and citrus to highlight the agave's natural botanicals.

Ingredients:

  • 1¼ oz. mezcal

  • ¼ oz. Cynar

  • ½ oz. fresh lemon juice

  • ½ oz. agave nectar

  • 2 dashes orange bitters

Instructions:

  • Prep a rocks glass by rimming it with smoked salt and chili powder. Combine all the other ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into the rimmed rocks glass.
