Proof Al Pastor Sour

by Proof Syrup | October 6, 2021

Much as we love it in an Old Fashioned, one of our favorite Maple Bacon Proof Syrup cocktails is the Al Pastor Sour: smoky, sweet, tart, delicious, fantastic with spicy meals and barbecue.

Whether you’re a longtime mezcal sipper or new to this smoky Mexican spirit, you’ll love this cocktail. And if you're experiencing a temporary embarrassment of mezcal — or a longer-term reluctance to go full smoky — know that this recipe's equally delicious with tequila, or a 50-50 tequila-mezcal split.

Ingredients

1/2 oz Maple Bacon Proof Syrup
1 1/2 oz Tequila or Mezcal
1/2 oz Aperol or Campari
1 1/2 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice
Lime Wheel to Garnish

Tools

Jigger
Cocktail Shaker
Strainer
Double Old Fashioned Glass

Steps

Measure tequila or mezcal, Proof Syrup, Aperol or Campari, and pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker; add ice and shake until well combined.
Strain into an ice-filled double Old Fashioned glass.
Garnish with lime wheel.
