Cocktail Description
The Green Fiesta Sour isn't just a drink—it's a vibrant celebration in a glass that brilliantly marries the earthy complexity of spinach with the spirited personalities of cachaça and mezcal.
This striking emerald cocktail delivers a fascinating flavor journey, starting with grassy vegetal notes from muddled spinach that dance with the funky sugarcane character of cachaça before the smoky mezcal makes its presence known. Bright lime, warming ginger, and nutty orgeat create perfect balance, while egg white provides a silky, luxurious texture. Though requiring some advanced techniques like double-shaking and fine-straining, the Green Fiesta Sour is achievable for home bartenders willing to take their time with the process. It makes an impressive addition to dinner parties or weekend brunches where you want to showcase something unexpected and conversation-worthy. The cocktail pairs wonderfully with Mexican-inspired dishes like fish tacos or vegetable enchiladas, where its herbaceous profile and bright acidity cut through rich, spicy flavors.
