Serve in a Coupe glass
1 oz | Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal |
1 oz | Patrón Silver blanco tequila |
3⁄4 oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
3⁄4 oz | Honey syrup (3 parts honey to 1 water by weight) |
3 dash | Angostura Aromatic Bitters |
1 swath | Grapefruit peel/zest |
Garnish: Lime wedge on rim
SHAKE all ingredients, including grapefruit zest (Regal Shake), with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
The Regal Shake employed in the making of this cocktail adds tartness and bitterness, which, along with the lime juice, counters the rich honey to leave this mezcal and tequila sour a touch on the sour side.
Adapted from a recipe created circa 2012-14 by Ben Long when head bartender at the John Dory Oyster Bar in Manhattan, New York City. Named after Oaxaca, the Mexican state most identified with mezcal production, this cocktail was featured in Georgette Morger-Petraske's 2016 book .
