The Lemon Lane: Golden Hour in a Glass
Ingredients:
- 3 oz Mezcalum
- 2 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
- 1/2 oz Agave Syrup
- Sugar for rimming
- Lemon twist for garnish (optional: add lemon zest to your sugar for an aromatic twist!)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Glass: On a small plate, spread a few tablespoons of sugar. Take a lemon slice and run it around the rim of your chosen cocktail glass. Gently invert the glass into the sugar, twisting to ensure an even and sparkling coating.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Mezcalum, fresh lemon juice, Grand Marnier, and agave syrup.
- Shake It Up! Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled – about 15-20 seconds.
Strain and Garnish: Strain the vibrant liquid into your prepared sugar-rimmed glass. Finish with a delicate lemon twist, letting its citrusy aroma complete the experience.
