Method

Prepare Glass

1

Rim the glass

Choose a rocks or coupe glass. Moisten the rim lightly with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into coarse salt or cinnamon-sugar evenly to coat. Set the glass aside to dry while you mix the cocktail.

Mix Cocktail

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Jose Cuervo Tradicional Plata, 0.75 oz 400 Conejos mezcal, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz maple-agave syrup.

3

Add spice

Add 1/8 teaspoon (0.125 tsp) ground cinnamon directly into the shaker so it blends into the cocktail.

4

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with large ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds, until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the exterior shows frost.

Serve

5

Strain and garnish

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared rimmed glass over fresh large ice (or serve neat in a chilled coupe if preferred). Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

6

Optional: If you want a stronger cinnamon aroma, sprinkle a very light pinch of ground cinnamon on top of the finished drink or express a lime peel over the surface before garnishing.
