This little gem came about by a guest asking me to make them something with Mezcal, and not overly sweet. Having a ton of cocktails I conceptualize in my notes app on my phone, this was one cocktail I had been meaning to try out, and what better time to give it a shake. After a couple quick adjustments and deciding to go with Averna over Cynar, the cocktail came to life. Topped it off with a lime twist and served up this bright, nutty and refreshing beverage to the guest. Being well received and given positive feedback by the guest, I decided to serve up this cocktail to Mezcal and cocktail enthusiast alike for further feedback. So far, so good.

And now, I present to you,

"Fog & Sun"

1.5oz Del Maguey Vida

.75oz Lime Juice

.75oz Small Hand Foods Orgeat

.50oz Amaro Averna

Garnish with Lime twist

Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake hard. Double strain over large cube. Zest lime, twist, and place on top of cocktail. Serve.

Cheers.
