Description
The Pineapple Mezcal Sour is a bold, smoky cocktail with a tropical twist. It combines the earthy depth of mezcal with sweet pineapple and sharp lime for a balanced, refreshing sip. A touch of agave syrup smooths out the flavor, and an egg white (or aquafaba) creates a light, frothy finish. It’s simple to make but full of character—perfect for warm days or stylish gatherings.
