Classic sours follow a simple ratio: 2 parts alcohol, 1 part citrus, 1 part sweetener. This perfectly balanced mezcal version is proof that the basics are best left alone. Easy to remember and simple to make, it’s a timeless drink.
Keeping a jar of simple syrup on hand is always a good practice. Simply heat ½ cup water with ½ cup sugar on medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
