The Illicit Affair

Ingredients

• 45 ml Illegal Mezcal Joven
• 20 ml Chartreuse Verte
• 15 ml Fresh lime juice
• 10 ml Agave nectar
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 Egg white
• Pinch Sea salt

Method

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker without ice
2. Dry shake vigorously for 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white
3. Add a large handful of ice to the shaker
4. Shake intensely for 12 seconds until well-chilled
5. Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass
6. Allow the foam to settle for 5 seconds before serving

Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a thin, long strip of grapefruit peel expressed over the drink's surface and laid across the rim. Top the foam with three grains of Maldon sea salt placed in the center. Present with the grapefruit peel draped elegantly over one side of the glass rim.
