Guelaguetza Harmony

Description: Inspired by the vibrant and diverse colors of Guelaguetza costumes, this cocktail aims to capture the festival's essence in both appearance and flavor. The drink layers are as vibrant as the traditional Oaxacan dances and are meant to be enjoyed slowly, savoring each colorful layer. Ingredients: - 1 oz Blue Curaçao - 1 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Passion Fruit Juice - 1 oz Mango Puree - 1 oz Hibiscus Syrup - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.5 oz Grenadine - Edible Flowers for garnish (such as nasturtium or marigold) Glass: Tall Collins Glass Instructions: 1. Start by preparing the hibiscus syrup by steeping dried hibiscus flowers in hot water and combining it with sugar until dissolved. Let it cool. 2. In a shaker, combine the mezcal, passion fruit juice, mango puree, and lime juice. Shake with ice. 3. Slowly pour the grenadine into the Collins glass to create a red base—use a bar spoon to help layer each color. 4. Carefully strain and layer the shaker mixture over the back of a spoon on top of the red base. 5. Gently layer the Blue Curaçao on top, using the same spoon technique for a blue top layer. 6. Garnish with vibrant edible flowers to mimic the vivid Guelaguetza costumes. 7. Serve with a straw to allow the drinker to experience each layer’s unique flavor combination. Enjoy the Guelaguetza Harmony at your next colorful celebration!
