Refreshing

Welcome Home is a vexing book to thumb through when looking for a cocktail that you have everything on hand to make it but I found this one and was sold. Subbing out for an available Mezcal, and lightening the load of hot sauce due to the heat of the ginger syrup, otherwise this is a faithful reshake of Scott Teague’s mojito-mai tai mashup (though I have to say I vehemently disagree with that description). This is a delicious and beautiful sipper, and I haven’t done a lot of practicing with laye...

Add all ingredients except Campari to a shaker tin with a few pieces of crushed ice and whip shake. Pour into a highball glass and fill with crushed ice. Float Campari over the top on the back of a barspoon. Garnish with a Mint Bouquet

Editor's Note

Smoky mezcal and nutty orgeat build a tiki-style base, while fiery ginger and hot sauce provide a consistent kick. A Campari float adds an evolving layer of bitterness from top to bottom.
