The Lemon Lane: Golden Hour in a Glass

Chris Posted on August 20 2025

Ingredients:

  1. 3 oz Mezcalum
  2. 2 oz fresh lemon juice
  3. 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
  4. 1/2 oz Agave Syrup
  5. Sugar for rimming
  6. Lemon twist for garnish (optional: add lemon zest to your sugar for an aromatic twist!)

Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the Mezcalum, fresh lemon juice, Grand Marnier, and agave syrup.
  3. 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.

 

 

Experience the vibrant essence of a West Village sunset with The Lemon Lane, our signature cocktail designed to capture "golden hour in liquid form." This isn't just a drink; it's an ode to the magic of twilight, crafted with the unparalleled quality of Mezcalum.

What's the Story Behind The Lemon Lane?

Every great cocktail has a tale, and The Lemon Lane is no exception. This drink is our love letter to those moments when the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and gold. We wanted to bottle that feeling of warmth, sophistication, and pure enjoyment. It's a tribute to the effortless charm of a perfect evening, whether you're strolling through the West Village or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home. The brightness of the lemon, the subtle sweetness, and the complex depth of Mezcalum all come together to evoke that magical "golden hour."

What Makes This Lemon Lane Unique?

While the classic sour serves as an inspiration, our Lemon Lane elevates the experience by featuring Mezcalum as its heart and soul. Many lemon-forward cocktails rely on other spirits, but by incorporating our premium mezcal, we introduce a layer of smoky complexity and an earthy elegance that transforms the drink. Our Mezcalum, crafted from a carefully curated selection of Espadin and rare Cuishe agave in Oaxaca, brings an unparalleled depth of flavor with zero carbs, zero sugar, and zero additives. This commitment to all-natural, artisanal production means that every sip of The Lemon Lane is not just refreshing, but also deeply authentic. It's a modern classic with an ancient soul, a true testament to our heritage and passion at Mezcalum.

Why Choose Mezcalum for Your Cocktails?

At Mezcalum, we believe in honoring tradition and the purity of the agave. Our Maestro Mezcalero, Carlos Méndez Blas, guided by generations of ancestral wisdom, selects and harvests agave hearts at their peak. These are then roasted, fermented, and distilled using artisanal methods practiced in their family's palenques in Santiago de Matatlán for close to a century. This meticulous process ensures that every bottle of Mezcalum delivers an authentic, natural taste experience that stands alone and shines in cocktails like The Lemon Lane. By choosing Mezcalum, you're not just selecting a spirit; you're embracing a legacy of quality and a commitment to all-natural ingredients.
