Sour, Sweet & Spicy

Sour, Sweet & Spicy is a bold, flavor-packed cocktail that perfectly balances bright citrus, botanical sweetness, and a striking chili heat. It builds its complex base by combining 1.5 oz of earthy Mezcal Rosaluna, 0.5 oz of floral Italicus Liqueur, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice in a mixing tin. Two Thai chilis are snapped in half and added to the tin before vigorously shaking with ice to infuse the liquid with a vibrant spice. The mixture is then strained into an iced double old-fashioned glass and dramatically finished with a torched rosemary sprig for a layer of aromatic herbal smoke.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz Mezcal Rosaluna

  • 0.5 oz Italicus Liqueur

  • 1 oz Fresh lime juice

  • 2 Thai chilis

  • Garnish: Torched rosemary sprigs
