Mezcal Smoked Tea Sour

Start with these components prepared in advance: Simple syrup (lapsang souchong tea infused).

Combine the mezcal, lemon juice, lapsang souchong tea-infused simple syrup, and egg white in a shaker. Dry shake vigorously to emulsify the egg white. Add ice to the shaker and shake again to chill and dilute the mixture. Strain the cocktail into a martini glass. Garnish with dried tea leaves for a smoky finish.
