Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Chill an old-fashioned or rocks glass by filling it with ice and set aside while you mix the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Add ingredients to shaker

    In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine 0.75 oz Siete Misterios (mezcal), 0.75 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 0.5 oz orgeat syrup, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, and 2 dashes chocolate bitters.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Fill the shaker with ice, cap, and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  4. 4

    Prepare serving glass

    Discard the ice from the chilled rocks glass and place one large clear ice cube or large ice sphere in the glass.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Double-strain (or fine-strain if no double-strainer available) the cocktail into the prepared glass over the large ice.

  6. 6

    Finish & garnish

    Express the lemon peel over the drink (optional) and rub the rim with the peel, then discard or drop the peel into the glass. Lightly dust a small pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of the cocktail to finish.
