Here is a recipe I constructed as part of my review of Jarnal de Berrio Mezcal. I originally dubbed the serving, the Pompadour (which of course is the extravagant hairstyle named for Madame de Pompadour, who was a mistress of King Louis XV of France); however, I decided to rename the libation when I became aware of a completely different agricole rhum serving which shares the name.
Trovador, in case you are wondering, is a Spanish translation of the French word Toubadour. This implies my cocktail should cause you to burst into poetic songs of love. Make sure you have a suitable partner when you enjoy the libation.
Trovador
1 1/2 oz Mezcal Jarnal de Berrio
1/2 oz Bols Apricot Brandy
2/3 oz Lemon Juice
1/3 oz Sugar Syrup (1:1 ratio)
dash Fees Old Fashioned Cocktail Bitters
Ice
Orange peel for garnish (option)
Chill a cocktail glass
Add the ingredients into a metal shaker with ice
Shake until the outside of the shaker begins to frost
Strain into the chilled cocktail glass
Garnish with Orange Peel if desired
Enjoy Responsibly!
