The recipe for this mezcal cocktail comes from the famous Licoreria Limantour bar in Mexico City.. Like most mezcal drinks, this is also best had in hot summer days. This has mezcal, hibiscus liqueur (I knew someday that hibiscus liqueur I had bought for no good reason a year back would come of use 🙂 ), lime juice and cardamom.

Given the base being mezcal, this is served in a small clay glass and is meant to be sipped gently over a longer period of time.

I am a colorless alcohol.
I am usually served in a small clay cup/glass.
I am neither had with rocks nor water. Just neat.
I am sipped and not gulped like a shot.
I am usually had with a few pieces of oranges on the side.
(Rajib’s note: I did not have oranges. So, watermelon it is).

What alcohol am I?

Hint: Rajib had this for the first time in his life today.
