Saladito

Main Spirit Mezcal

Difficulty Easy

Technique Shaken

Named after the Mexican dried salted fruit, the Saladito was created by Marco Tello as a riff on Sasha Petraske’s The Business (which in turn is a riff on the Bees Kees). The trick with this drink is to shake the Mezcal, Honey Syrup and Lime Juice mix with a large ice cube, really well. This produces an almost egg white-like foam to which the cayenne pepper and sea salt can adhere.
