Mezcal Sour
The Mezcal Sour is an innovative version of the Whiskey Sour, based on the smoky flavor of mezcal. The addition of egg white creates a silky foam, while the use of a tea bag adds a unique tea aroma. Lemon juice provides the classic sour balance, resulting in a complex and refined drinking experience, a creative interpretation of the classic sour by modern mixologists.
