Muletide Cocktail

• 1 1/2 ozmezcal (Miracle uses Del Maguey Vida)
• 3/4 ozamontillado sherry
• 3/4 ozginger syrup
• 1/2 ozfresh lemon juice
• 1/2 ozallspice liqueur

Preparation

1. 1.

   Shake all the ingredients with ice to chill. Strain into a glass holding a single large cube of ice. Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink and discard the peel.

2. 2.

   Ginger SyrupRoughly peel several large pieces of ginger. Juice the ginger using a juice extractor, or finely grate the ginger and press through cheesecloth or a chinoise to remove as much juice as possible. Measure the juice, then slowly add twice as much granulated sugar to the reserved juice, whisking or blending to dissolve the sugar. Bottle and store in the refrigerator; the ginger flavor will fade quickly, so the syrup is best if used within a few days.
