Cactus Flower cocktail !

Ingredients:

2 oz watermelon-infused mezcal

1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

1/2 oz ginger liqueur

1/2 oz prickly pear syrup

Instruction:

 For the watermelon-infused mezcal:

Combine 2 parts mezcal to 1 part cubed ripe watermelon in a closed container, like a mason jar. (For a small batch, I used 1 cup of mezcal to 1/2 cup of watermelon. You can make a large batch with one 750ml bottle of mezcal to about 1/2 a large watermelon).

Let the mixture infuse for 24-48 hours (or longer for even more flavor!) Give the jar a gentle shake periodically.

After 1-2 days, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the liquid, pressing gently on the watermelon chunks to express as much liquid as possible.

Store any leftover infused mezcal in a closed container away from heat and sunlight.

For the cocktail:

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker 3/4 with ice.

Shake until chilled, then strain into a coupe glass.

Garnish with a lime twist.

Remember the Maine !

Remember the Maine first appeared in the 1939 book The Gentleman’s Companion by Charles H. Baker.

Ingredients:

Rye whiskey

Sweet vermouth

Cherry Heering liqueur

Absinthe

Lemon twist, for garnish

How to make it:

This classic is simple and satisfying. Rinse a coupe glass with absinthe. Then stir all of the remaining ingredients with plenty of ice and strain the liquid into the absinthe-rinsed glass. Express a lemon twist over the cocktail and enjoy!

To rinse a glass with absinthe: Simply pour a small amount of absinthe (about 1/4 oz) into a chilled glass, swirl it around to coat the glass, then pour out and discard the excess liquid.

Alternatively, you can mist the inside of the glass with absinthe. This results in less waste and a consistent application of the strongly flavored spirit.
