Limoncello Mezcal Sour - HE COOKS.™

This cocktail is missing something magical. Smoky mezcal meets sweet Italian limoncello in a citrus-forward sour that balances sharp lemon with smooth honey syrup. The egg white (if you’re using it, which the ingredient list should specify) creates that silky foam top bartenders love.

Shake it hard over ice until your shaker frosts over, then double-strain into a coupe glass.

The mezcal’s earthy smoke cuts through the limoncello’s sugary brightness while honey rounds out any harsh edges.

Bartender Tips

• Dry shake with egg white first (no ice) for 30 seconds to build foam, then add ice and shake again
• Use fresh lemon juice only, never bottled
• Quality mezcal makes a difference here, look for 100% agave
• Garnish with a thin lemon wheel or expressed lemon peel
