Drink Recipe

Illegal

Name: Illegal
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 30 ml Mezcal; 15 ml J. Wray and Nephew® White Overproof Rum; 15 ml Falernum; 1 barspoon Luxardo® Maraschino Liqueur; 22.5 ml Lime Juice; 15 ml Simple Syrup; Egg Whites

Smoky mezcal and overproof Jamaican rum share the base, which is already a lot before falernum and maraschino arrive with clove, almond and cherry. Lime and simple syrup pull it back into sour territory and the egg white gives it a dense, silky head. It drinks smoky, spiced and deceptively smooth for its proof. Best served in a clay or terracotta cup if you have one.
