Smoke Show

The Smoke Show cocktail balances a bright, fresh profile with warming finishes. The combination of earthy mezcal with amaro, herbal liqueur, lemon and cinnamon manages to deftly dance across multiple dimensions of flavor. It was created by beverage director and sommelier Liz Martinez when she was working at The Purple Pig in Chicago.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces mezcal

  • 1/4 ounce Cynar

  • 1/4 ounce Green Chartreuse

  • 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup

  • 1 egg white

  • Garnish: cinnamon, freshly grated

Instructions:

Add the mezcal, Cynar, Green Chartreuse, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.

Strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with freshly grated cinnamon.
