Mezcal Milk Punch

Recently, we tried this Mezcal Milk Punch found in @imbibe Magazine and coming straight off of the menu of @velveteenrabbitlv . Written in a smaller column by the end of the magazine this recipe stood out to us. With it's smokey base spirit, its chocolate sweet flavors and its kick from the Ancho verde we couldn't help but imagine a Oaxacan inspired Christmas.

Ingredients

• 1 oz. mezcal

• ½ oz. crème de cacao, we used @tempus_fugit_spirits

• ½ oz. @anchoreyes Chile Liqueur

• 1 oz. coconut milk - DRINKING (carton) COCONUT MILK ONLY. 

• Dark chocolate for garnish - we used @tchochocolate 's extra dark

Tools

• Shaker

• Julep Strainer

• Old Fashioned glass

Instructions

• Shake all the ingredients with ice

• Strain into an ice-filled glass

• Garnish with a piece of dark chocolate

P.S. One thing to note, our first time making this was an absolute failure!! We used canned coconut milk, not carton coconut milk. This made the drink an oily disaster with almost no flavor.
