Toasted Citrus Bitterness

This cocktail, Toasted Citrus Bitterness, is a unique twist on a classic sour cocktail. It combines the smokiness of Mezcal and Tequila with the herbal bitterness of Cynar, balanced by the bright flavors of fresh lemon juice and orange marmalade. The addition of an egg white creates a creamy texture, and the garnish of toast crumbs adds a delightful crunch to each sip.
