Burnt Embers Instructions

The Burnt Embers cocktail is a smoky and sophisticated drink that is sure to impress your guests. The unique combination of flavors creates a complex and well-balanced cocktail that is perfect for any occasion.

To make a Burnt Embers cocktail, start by adding a small amount of mezcal to a mixing glass. Mezcal is a type of liquor made from the agave plant and has a distinct smoky flavor. Next, add a generous pour of bourbon to the glass. The bourbon adds a rich and caramel-like taste to the cocktail.

After adding the mezcal and bourbon, squeeze in the juice of half a fresh lemon. The bright acidity of the lemon juice cuts through the richness of the mezcal and bourbon, balancing out the flavors of the cocktail. To sweeten the drink, add a dash of simple syrup. Simple syrup is made by dissolving equal parts of sugar and water, creating a sweet liquid that is easy to incorporate into cocktails.

Once all the ingredients are in the mixing glass, fill it with ice and stir for about 30 seconds. Stirring the cocktail allows the flavors to meld together and the ice helps to chill the drink. After stirring, strain the cocktail into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

To garnish the Burnt Embers cocktail, add a lemon twist. To create a twist, peel a strip of lemon zest and twist it over the glass, allowing the oils from the zest to spray onto the drink. This adds a bright and citrusy aroma to the cocktail.

The Burnt Embers cocktail is a sophisticated and complex drink that is perfect for those who enjoy smoky and rich flavors. Serve it at your next cocktail party and impress your guests with your mixology skills. Cheers!
