Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 ounces mezcal
- .5 ounce triple sec
- .5 ounce pear liqueur
- 1 ounce apple cider
- .5 ounce fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp apple jam
- 2 stars anise divided
- 3 slices apple
- 1 cup ice plus more for your glass
Instructions
- Fill a rocks glass with ice.
- To a cocktail shaker, add ice, mezcal, triple sec, pear liqueur, apple cider, lime juice, apple jam, and one star anise.
- Shake vigorously for 20 seconds, strain and pour over ice in rocks glass.

Notes
- You can substitute tequila for mezcal. Tequila will not have the same smoky flavor but the drink will be just as good!
- You can definitely be creative with your garnishes - possibilities include cinnamon sticks, lime wedges, or salt to rim your glass.
- If you prefer your drink to be sweeter, add an extra teaspoon of apple jam. If you want it less sweet, use only one teaspoon.
- If you don't have pear liqueur, you can use an apple liqueur or just use another 1/2 ounce of triple sec.
