Xamu's Citric

Xamu's Citric is an elegantly balanced, aromatic cocktail that beautifully pairs the signature smoky subtlety of Casa Xamu Espadín mezcal with bright, herbal garden notes. It builds a refreshing, citrus-forward base in a cocktail shaker by combining 2 oz of the Espadín mezcal, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.75 oz of simple syrup (or agave nectar) alongside gently muddled fresh rosemary. Shaken vigorously with ice until thoroughly chilled and strained into a rocks glass over fresh ice, this deeply soothing sipper is perfectly finished with a dehydrated lemon wheel and a fragrant, gently torched rosemary sprig to amplify its earthy, Oaxacan soul.
