Maple Mezcal Sour
glassware: thrifted coupe glass
I recently stumbled upon a store in Nolita, a borough of Manhattan north of Little Italy, called The Meadow. They specialize in bitters, salt, and chocolate, and flowers (what’s not to love), and I had to have these Yuzu Bitters by Miracle Mile. If you ever have the chance to visit this store in New York (they even have a location in Portland, OR!), definitely go! You won’t be disappointed.
This maple mezcal sour is bright, silky, and smokey.
Ingredients:
½ oz maple syrup
½ oz lime juice
½ oz lemon juice
3 dashes yuzu bitters
1½ oz mezcal
1 egg white
garnish: freshly grated nutmeg + lime twist
Directions:
Add maple syrup, lime juice, lemon juice, bitters, mezcal, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for thirty seconds to create a frothy head. Add ice and shake again. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and a lime twist.
