Instructions

  1. Step 1: Gently muddle 4 fresh mint leaves in a cocktail shaker to release their oils.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 oz mezcal, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 3/4 oz agave syrup, and 1 egg white to the shaker without ice.
  3. Step 3: Dry shake vigorously for 20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.
  4. Step 4: Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes and shake again for 15 seconds until well chilled.
  5. Step 5: Fine strain into a chilled rocks glass without ice to showcase the foam.
  6. Step 6: Garnish by placing a lime wheel on the rim and lightly slap a small mint sprig to release aroma, resting it atop the foam.
