Shattered Teeth

Shattered Teeth is a bold, "mojito-curious" margarita created by Colleen Downey of Trick Dog in San Francisco that pushes the boundaries of flavor with Mestiza Negra Mezcal. It builds a rich, deeply complex base by combining 1.5 oz of beef-tallow-washed Mestiza Negra, 0.75 oz of Black Barrel Mount Gay Rum, 0.5 oz of Cointreau, 0.5 oz of Pajarote tamarindo ponche, 0.25 oz of ginger syrup, and 0.75 oz of fresh lime juice. The mixture is vigorously shaken and double-strained into a rocks glass. This daring and unforgettable cocktail is elegantly topped with a unique salted mint and chinicuile foam, and finally garnished with fresh mint and a Cointreau-based rock candy swizzle.
