Hot Honey Mezcal Mule

Description

Hot Honey Mezcal Mule balances smoke, heat and sweetness rather than piling them on top of each other. Mezcal is the main spirit, a little blanco tequila softens its edges and fresh lime cuts through both honey and ginger beer.

Hot honey syrup adds a chilli warmth that arrives before the ginger bite. The finish stays long and sparkling, not syrupy.

Ingredients

40 ml Mezcal
10 ml Blanco tequila
20 ml lime juice
10 ml Hot Honey Syrup
Approx. 100 ml Ginger Beer, to top
1 piece Lime Wheel (for garnish)
