Cocktails need both sweet and sour elements to balance flavor. That way, your cocktail isn’t not too boozy, puckeringly sour or cloyingly sweet–and drinking enjoyment is maximized!

Ingredients:

• 6 mint leaves
• 2 basil leaves
• 2 slices jalapeno
• 1 lime juice wedge
• 1 oz passion fruit puree
• 1 1/2 oz Mezcal Tajacú Salmiana
• 1 oz simple syrup

Directions

In a shaker, muddle mint, basil, jalapeno, and lime. Add Mezcal Tajacú Salmiana, passion fruit puree, simple syrup and ice. Shake, strain and serve over ice. Garnish with fresh herbs and edible flowers like nasturtium, borage and basil flowers.
