Vibrant and smoky, this cocktail at Pêche in New Orleans was created around the passing of Prince. For fans of mezcal, it’s forever the greatest hit.

  • 1 1/2 ounces Hibiscus-Jalapeño Syrup, recipe follows
  • 3/4 ounce lime juice
  • Tajin for garnish

Instructions

In a shaker filled with ice, add mezcal, hibiscus-jalapeño syrup and lime juice.

Shake and strain over fresh ice in an old fashioned glass rimmed with chili salt. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Hibiscus-Jalapeño Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
4 hibiscus tea bags

Combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add jalapeños and simmer for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add tea bags, allowing to steep about 20 minutes. Strain. Keep covered in a squirt bottle or sealed in a glass jar and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
