Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz mezcal (preferably Silencio Espadin)
  • 1 oz cold brew coffee concentrate (preferably Grady's New Orleans Style)
  • 1/2 oz coffee liqueur (preferably St. George NOLA or Mr. Black preferred)
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup*
  • 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp wasabi paste (from a tube)

*To make simple syrup:

  • In a jar with a lid, combine 1/2 cup hot water with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir until sugar completely dissolves and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks

For this cocktail, I wanted to create a fun but unusual take on the classic Espresso Martini. I did this by pairing the savory horseradish spice you get from prepared wasabi with the chocolatey notes of coffee. The Mezcal’s smokiness is what ties it all together.
