Trouble over me

About this Cocktail

I was rather surprised by Los Nahuales Mezcal Reposado. The mesquite smokiness is full and rich, the light touch of oak helps tame the beast. I was vaguely reminded of peaty Scotch, and then this Rusty Nail variation happened.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Los Nahuales Mezcal Reposado
• .5 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey
• 2 dash Orange Bitters
• 1 Sugar Cube
• Orange Twist

Chill coupe - melt sugar cube with bitters - add Mezcal, TN Honey and ice and stir - strain into chilled coupe
