Shawn C commented on 9/18/2025:

This is an excellent cocktail, layered and complex. It leans toward sweet but with so many floral, herbal, and citrus notes that it doesn't detract. The black lemon bitters come through and blend well with the rest. Curation notes: I have changed this to "authentic", but have updated the bitters in the recipe since the "Aromatic" is actually Scrappy's Bergamot Bitters (now added ingredient list), and the dash listed as orange is actually Scrappy's Orleans Bitters which appear to be equivalent to Peychaud's or Creole bitters.

Teaches of Peaches

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Peach liqueur
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 ds Cayenne pepper (or 1 dash habanero tincture)
Instructions

Add ingredients into a shaker, shake, and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a dusting of cayenne pepper over the top.

Notes

If available, you can add habanero tincture to the shaker. Still add cayenne over the top of the cocktail.

To better control how much cayenne comes out of the shaker, I would tape the holes closed, leaving only three open

History
