Smoked Velvet Slim

Description: Dive into a silky, low-calorie twist on classic mezcal cocktails. The Smoked Velvet Slim combines mezcal’s earthy smoke with the delicate, nostalgic creaminess of malted milk powder, brightened by citrus and softened with sparkling water. It’s an airy, adult treat—light on calories but rich in flavor and intrigue. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz mezcal - 1 barspoon (1 tsp) malted milk powder - 0.5 oz fresh lime juice - 0.25 oz agave syrup (or sugar-free sweetener for even lower calories) - 2 oz cold sparkling water - Pinch of smoked sea salt (optional, for garnish) - Lime wheel or twist, for garnish Directions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine mezcal, malted milk powder, lime juice, and agave syrup. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously to dissolve the milk powder. 2. Add ice and shake again until well chilled. 3. Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with ice. 4. Top with sparkling water, gently stir to combine. 5. Garnish with a lime wheel or twist and a pinch of smoked sea salt on top if desired. Glass: Highball glass
