Cocktail Description
The Misty Mezcal Martini delivers a captivating marriage of smoke, earth, and botanical complexity that unfolds with each sip.
This sophisticated twist on a classic introduces the distinctive smoky character of Del Maguey Vida Mezcal to the bitter herbal notes of Suze Aperitif, while Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth adds subtle wine-like aromatics. The cocktail offers a perfect balance of flavors - smoky depth at its foundation, gentle vegetal bitterness in the middle, and bright citrus notes from the orange garnish. Served over a large chunk of ice in an old-fashioned glass, it's an excellent choice for early evening gatherings or contemplative moments when you want something with character but not overwhelming strength. The Misty Mezcal Martini pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or spicy Mexican dishes, as its complex flavor profile stands up to bold foods while cleansing the palate. Despite its sophisticated taste, it's surprisingly straightforward to prepare at home with just three ingredients and a proper stirring technique.
