And the Drambuie and Chameleon Mexican Chocolate are also nicely complementary, “ideal for summer whether enjoyed for brunch, as a happy hour pick-me-up or an after-dinner drink,” Vance Henderson, Drambuie’s brand ambassador and the cocktail creator, noted in a release.
Drambuie is an old liqueur hailing from the 1870s and possibly even before (depending on which legend you believe). Its sweet taste makes it a natural accompaniment to many an ingredient — even mezcal.
Sand and Smoke
1 oz. Drambuie
1 oz. pineapple juice
3 fresh basil leaves
2 oz. Chameleon Mexican Coffee
1/2 oz. Montelobos Mezcal
Combine ingredients with ice in a shaker and shake well. Double-strain. Serve over fresh ice with a splash of club soda and a garnish of fresh basil.
