Rosemary Mezcal Fizz

Ingredients

  • Rosemary leaves from 1 sprig (about 40)
  • Pinch of Kosher salt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 3"-long strip lemon zest
  • 4 1/2 ounces mezcal
  • 2 3/4 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 ounce light agave nectar
  • 6 ounces chilled club soda
  • 2 sprigs rosemary, briefly singed over flame, if desired

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Chill 2 Collins glasses.  Combine rosemary leaves and salt in a cocktail shaker and gently press out oils with a muddler, about 45 seconds.  Add egg white, lemon zest, mezcal, lemon juice, and agave nectar.

Step 2: Cover cocktail shaker; shake vigorously (without ice) until egg white is emulsified, about 20 seconds.  Carefully uncover (shaker will be quite full) and add ice just to fill.  Cover and shake until egg white is very frothy and cocktail is cold, about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Set chilled glasses next to each other and double-strain cocktail into glasses, dividing evenly.  Top off each drink with 3 ounces chilled club soda and garnish with a rosemary sprig.
