The Café Mezcal is a twist of the classic espresso martini that leans into the delightful way that coffee and mezcal1 flavors combine. For folks who don't enjoy mezcal but don't mind tequila, you can switch the proportion of mezcal to tequila or use only tequila.
I also leave out brewed espresso, but I'd definitely experiment with adding it back—maybe cut down on the coffee liqueur to make up the volume.
Ingredients
- One part2 simple syrup
- Three parts coffee liqueur
