Jardin Mexicano
- 1.5 oz. White mezcal
- 1 Beet
- 3 tbsp Pineapple, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh nopal, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon, chopped 1/3 of a lemon
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 slices Green serrano chile, deseeded and thinly sliced in half circles
- .5 oz. Pineapple juice
Directions: Peel the beet and slice thinly. Place in a glass with the mezcal to infuse. The beet will give the mezcal a special rose color. After 10 minutes, strain the mezcal into the shaker. Add the remaining ingredients. Shake and serve.
