Mercury Flash

Description

Mercury Flash should feel intentional from the first sip, not like a random mixture poured over ice. The bubbles are not just there for decoration: they lift the aroma, stretch the sweetness and make Tequila, blood orange, chilli and and a sparkling feel lighter in the mouth. That is why the drink lands so well as an aperitif, a brunch serve or a first drink before food.

Keep the build cold and avoid over-stirring after the fizz goes in, because the sparkle is part of the flavour.
