Basil Mezcal Sour Cocktail Recipe

• 2 medium basil leaves, plus 1 small leaf for garnishing
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
• 1/2 ounce lime vodka
• 3/4 ounce mezcal
• 1 ounce tequila blanco
• 1/2 ounce Cointreau
• 1 egg white
• Ice
• Pinch of celery seed, for garnish

1. Place a coupe glass in the freezer to chill.
2. Place the medium basil leaves, lime juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker; muddle vigorously.
3. Add the vodka, mezcal, tequila, Cointreau, and egg white.
4. Shake vigorously without ice (this emulsifies the egg white, also known as a dry shake).
5. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
6. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
7. Double-strain into the chilled glass (a bar strainer set over a small sieve is perfect).
8. Garnish with the celery seed and a small basil leaf.
