A few simple twists carry a classic summer cocktail gracefully into fall. Mishmish N.33's honey, lemon, and saffron amplify the lush spiciness of aged tequila. The traditional orange liqueur and lime juice keep it refreshing as a cool autumn breeze.

Recipe Note

Variations & Ideas:

• (Pictured) Rim the glass with Cancale N.11 instead of plain salt. The fennel and orange make the drink even more savory and fall friendly.

• Try it as a flip. Combine all ingredients (no salt) and dry shake, fine strain and 1 teaspoon of simple syrup, the white of one egg or three tablespoons of aquafaba and shake with ice until well chilled. Strain into a tulip glass and garnish with a dash of Smoked Cinnamon.
