Maximilian Affair

Chill a cocktail coupe glass in advance to prepare for serving.

Craft a lemon zest twist to use as a garnish.

Combine the Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal, elderflower liqueur, Punt E Mes vermouth amaro, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a shaker.

Shake the mixture vigorously with ice to ensure it is well chilled.

Fine strain the cocktail into the prepared coupe glass.

Express the lemon zest twist over the cocktail to release its aromatic oils, then place it as a garnish.
