Acre Bird

A smokier, tangier take on the Jungle Bird — this riff swaps rum for mezcal and pineapple for honey-passionfruit. Earthy, bright, and offbeat in the best way, the Acre Bird flies on bold wings.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Mezcal
  • 1 oz Aperol

  • .5 oz Fresh Lime Juice

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.

A mezcal-lover’s dream with bright acidity and a dry, smoky finish.
