Soulmates

Soulmates cocktail by Mezcal Creyente is a bright, refreshing drink built around the natural synergy of citrus and rich agave smoke. It pairs 1.5 oz of Mezcal Creyente Espadín with 1.5 oz of fresh orange juice and 0.5 oz of fresh lime juice to give it a layered, tart citrus backbone. Shaken with ice and strained into a rocks glass over fresh cubes, the pale yellow drink is finished with a half-rim of worm salt (sal de gusano). A charred or fresh orange wheel sits elegantly on top as a garnish to complete the ritual.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz Creyente Espadín Mezcal

  • Splash of olive brine

  • A few fresh rosemary sprigs

  • Tonic water (to top)

  • Garnish: 1 rosemary sprig, lemon wheel, and 3 olives

Instructions:

  • Combine: Add the Creyente Espadín, splash of olive brine, and a few rosemary sprigs to a cocktail shaker.

  • Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake well to chill and release the aromatic oils of the rosemary.

  • Strain: Pour the mixture through a strainer into a glass (an oregano salt-rimmed glass is recommended if you have it!).

  • Top: Top the cocktail with tonic water.

  • Garnish: Finish with a fresh rosemary sprig, a lemon wheel, and 3 olives before serving.
