THE PERFECT COMBINATION

Mezcal shot

When you hear the word shot, you probably think of a nice shot of tequila. But not only tequila is drunk like this, but also mezcal. If you want to try mezcal on it's own, as it is traditionally drunk, this is the best way to enjoy it without getting out of breath.

Ingredients

• 58 ml of TIERRA DE CAUDILLOS mezcal

• 2 lime slices (or sour orange segments)

• 1 tablespoon salt (preferably worm salt)

• 1 shot glass

Elaboration

1. Prepare the shot glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim and sprinkle salt where you rubbed the lime.

2. Add the mezcal to the glass.

3. Decorate with a lemon slice.

4. Makes 2 drinks (2 people).

ROSEMARY MEZCAL NEGRONI

Ingredients

• 1 ½ ounces of TIERRA DE CAUDILLOS mezcal

• 1 ounce sweet vermouth

• Grapefruit peel

• 1 sprig of rosemary to decorate

• 1 ounce of Campari infused with rosemary

Preparation

• Start by preparing the infused Campari. To do this, combine 12 ounces (approximately 350 milliliters) of the drink with 4 sprigs of rosemary. Cover tightly and let infuse for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally. After a day, strain the liquid and bottle it. It can be stored for a month.

• To make the Rosemary Mezcal Negroni, add the TIERRA DE CAUDILLOS mezcal, sweet vermouth and rosemary-infused Campari to a mixing glass with ice and stir until chilled.

• Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice and squeeze the oil from one grapefruit peel over the top of the drink. Discard the peel.

• Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and, if desired, lightly burn the rosemary with a kitchen blowtorch until it smokes. Turn off the flame, serve and enjoy.
