Mestizo

Ingredients

• Don Zoilo Pedro Ximénez

• Dos Maderas 5+3 rum infused at low temperature with “Los Meleses” Radiquero cheese, apple, figs, and raisins

• Pink grapefruit and lemon juice

• Apple, raisin, and lime syrup

• Ice cube thread with oak smoke

Preparation

To prepare, start by chilling a lowball glass or an old-fashioned style glass with ice. In a shaker with ice, add 30 ml of Don Zoilo Pedro Ximénez, which provides a dense, sweet, and complex base with notes of raisins, dark caramel, and dried figs. Next, incorporate 40 ml of Dos Maderas 5+3 rum infused at low temperature with “Los Meleses” Radiquero goat cheese, apple, figs, and raisins: a creamy mixture with sweet, salty, and fruity nuances.

Add 20 ml of pink grapefruit juice and 10 ml of lemon juice to introduce acidity, liveliness, and freshness to the mix. Then, incorporate 15 ml of homemade apple, raisin, and lime syrup, which rounds out the flavor with a balanced sweetness and a vibrant citric touch.

Shake vigorously to integrate all elements, oxygenate the cocktail, and obtain a velvety texture. Strain the mixture into the previously chilled glass, without ice, to maintain the purity of the drink. Finish with a thread of cube (or ice sphere) flavored with oak smoke, which adds a final layer of toasted wood and prolongs the sensory experience in nose and mouth.

Description

Mestizo is a cocktail that tells a story: one of travels, crossed roots, and flavors born when two worlds meet. Ideal as a digestive or after-dinner cocktail, complex, deep, and memorable.
