Method

How to make Port of Spain

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a Nick and Nora glass thoroughly and confirm that this reviewed serve will omit the source's optional lime wheel.

  2. 02

    Measure the mezcal, full half-ounce of aromatic bitters, orgeat, and fresh lime juice into a clean shaker.

  3. 03

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

  4. 04

    Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until the unusually bitters-rich mixture is cold, integrated, and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled glass so the surface is smooth and free of ice fragments.

  6. 06

    Let the surface settle and serve immediately without adding a garnish.
