You can probably tell that I’m still working through some aquafaba… here’s the maguey Sour, a delightful mezcal-based sour. The smokiness of the mezcal works nicely in contrast to the Benedictine and citrus.

  • 2 oz Del Maguey Chichicapa mezcal
  • ½ oz Bénédictine
  • ¾ oz lemon juice
  • ½ oz orgeat or almond syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 1 orange twist

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the nutmeg and orange and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnish with the grated nutmeg and orange twist.
