Lucky created this recipe & featured it at the James Beard Foundation for International Women’s Day; Talent Beyond Walls just before New York furloughed the hospitality industry. She is the only out trans woman ever featured at the Beard House, her first appearance was for a Stonewall 50 event last summer. This well balanced cocktail was designed to mix up your palate, and would be great featured at a pop-up or to start off your BBQ. Smokey, Spicy w/ a Sour-Pucker Juicy Grilled Mandarin Slice.

ingredients
- 2 ounces Illegal Mezcal Joven
- 1 1/2 ounce cold brew coffee
- 3/4 ounce Hella bitters
- 1/2 ounce Aperol
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- Mandarin orange segment, for garnish
- Blue agave, for garnish
- Citric acid, for garnish
Method
Step 1
Prep garnishes by grilling mandarin slices to get the taste of the grill in your garnish. Brush mandarin slices with blue agave. Set aside garnish.
Step 2
Mix all ingredients in the cocktail shaker over ice, and shake vigorously. Serve over new ice. Dip the mandarin slice in citric acid and rest on top of your beverage. (Note: A liberal amount of the citric acid is desired to get a sour-pucker. Sprinkling it on works only if you’re generous)
