Method

How to make La Vita Dulce

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the coupe thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure spiced rum, mezcal, lime juice, simple syrup accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Pre-chill a coupe, add the spiced rum, mezcal, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to a shaker filled with solid ice, shake hard for 10–15 seconds until very cold and evenly integrated, fine-strain into the chilled coupe, allow coarse bubbles to settle to a thin natural line, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
