Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Fidencio Clásico mezcal1/2 oz El Dorado 12 year aged rum1/4 oz Fernet-Branca1/2 oz Fresh lime juice4 oz Mexican Coke (cold)1 cup Ice (large cubes or a few large spheres)1 to taste Lime wheel or wedge (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Build the drink

Chill a highball glass by filling it with ice or placing in the freezer briefly. Discard the chilling ice if used. Add fresh ice (large cubes or a single large sphere) to the chilled highball so the glass is about 3/4 full.

Measure and pour spirits

Pour 1.5 oz Fidencio Clásico mezcal, 0.5 oz El Dorado 12 yr aged rum, and 0.25 oz Fernet-Branca directly into the glass over the ice.

Add lime

Squeeze 0.5 oz (about half a medium lime) of fresh lime juice into the glass. If you prefer slightly brighter citrus, zest one quick lime twist over the drink before adding the juice.

Top with Mexican Coke

Slowly top with 4 oz cold Mexican Coke. Pour gently down a bar spoon or the inside of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a light layered effect.

Light stir and finish

Give the drink a gentle two- or three-stroke stir to integrate the spirits, Fernet, lime, and cola without over-diluting. Taste and adjust: if it needs more brightness, add a splash (0.25 oz) more lime juice; if sweeter, add a short splash (0.25 oz) more Coke.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw if desired; encourage the drinker to enjoy the smoky mezcal and rich rum notes balanced by the bitter herbal Fernet and fizzy cola.
