Margarita, smoke alarm

Glass Coupe
Method Shaken
Garnish maraschino cherry

A smoky, complex sour that bridges mezcal's campfire intensity with falernum's spiced sweetness and a maraschino lift. Smoke-wreathed and dangerously easy.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Mezcal
  • 1/2 oz Overproof Rum
  • 1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Falernum
  • 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
  • 1 barspoon Egg White optional

Method

Add all ingredients to a shaker. Dry shake without ice first if using egg white, then add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
