Jade Smoke

AI-generatedMediumCoupe

A brooding, contemplative drink where earthy mezcal and floral violet collide in a haze of green tea and citrus.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz mezcal
  • 1/2 oz creme de violette
  • 1 1/2 oz green tea (chilled, brewed strong)
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters

Method

  1. 11. Brew a strong green tea and chill completely before using.
  2. 22. Combine mezcal, creme de violette, chilled green tea, and lemon juice in a shaker with ice.
  3. 33. Add two dashes of angostura bitters.
  4. 44. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled.
  5. 55. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass.

PRO TIP

Brew the green tea with water just off the boil and steep for only 90 seconds to avoid bitterness — it needs to be a clean, grassy backdrop, not an astringent one.

Garnish — expressed lemon peel draped over the rim
