Basil Mezcal Sour Cocktail
Christopher Longoria of restaurant 1760 in San Francisco devised this beautifully colored, wonderfully aromatic cocktail to highlight mezcal in a way that smooths out its rustic edges. It’s bright and sophisticated, not to mention wickedly strong. What to buy: You’ll need a bottle of Hangar 1 Kaffir Lime Vodka and a moderately smoky mezcal, such as Del Maguey’s Vida. Special equipment: A wooden muddler is best for crushing the basil, and a four-prong bar strainer is a handy tool.
Ingredients
- 2 medium basil leaves plus 1 small leaf for garnishing
- 1 ounce Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
- 1⁄2 ounce lime vodka
- 3⁄4 ounce mezcal
- 1 ounce tequila blanco
- 1⁄2 ounce Cointreau
- 1 egg whites
- ice cream
- pinch of celery seed for garnish

Directions
Place a coupe glass in the freezer to chill.
Place the medium basil leaves, lime juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker; muddle vigorously. Add the vodka, mezcal, tequila, Cointreau, and egg white. Shake vigorously without ice (this emulsifies the egg white, also known as a “dry shake”).
Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
Double-strain into the chilled glass (a bar strainer set over a small sieve is perfect). Garnish with the celery seed and a small basil leaf.
