The Smoke & Mirrors

Deep down you know it’s wrong, but every time you think this one will be different, but there are just too many ingredients in this drink!

The Smoke & Mirrors, so much promise but we are left with a slightly disappointing muddle of things that just don’t need to be there, less is more people!

1 ½ oz Mezcal

⅓ oz Orange Curacao

⅓ oz Ancho Reyes Chilli liqueur

⅓ oz Ginger liqueur

⅓ oz Pineapple Juice

1 oz Lime Juice

½ oz egg white

Shake everything with ice, strain back into your tin and discard the ice before giving it another good shake to get the foaminess going.

It’s okay, is suppose, but I’d say get rid of the ginger and pineapple and up the chilli, then it’s a spicy margarita and there is nothing wrong with that at all, I may well give that a go this evening!

The Chilli is a new one for the cabinet and I am very much looking forward to adding it to anything and everything over the next few weeks.

Let us know what you mix up this weekend, are you going to give the Smoke & Mirrors a try, or do you have something else suitably reflective in mind?
