Brown Derby Cocktail

Looking for a twist on your usual Kentucky derby cocktails? Then try this creative mezcal rickey variation from seasoned mixologist China Morbosa.
Combining mezcal's smooth, smoky flavor with fresh lemon juice, this drink is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, with an added touch of tropical flair thanks to the homemade mango-infused coconut water.
The Pale Horse Rickey is one of the best classic cocktails. Originating from the Kentucky Derby, this beverage typically uses whiskey or gin as its main spirit base. If you want to embrace a contemporary take on this cocktail, you can use mezcal instead.
This smoky and rich liquor pairs perfectly with the mango-infused coconut water in this recipe, allowing for a bold and aromatic blend.
Ingredients
2 oz. Ilegal joven mezcal (or gin or whiskey)
½ oz. Manzanilla sherry
½ oz. Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Edible flowers for garnish
Directions
Fill a highball glass with ice, add the mezcal, sherry, and lemon juice and stir briefly to combine.
Top with the mango-infused carbonated coconut water.
Garnish with edible flowers.
