(Sorry for the mixed measurements - I had a bunch of egg white so had to weigh out 1 egg worth)

35 grams egg white

1 Tbsp guava jelly or guava paste

1 oz good mezcal

1/2 oz over proof reposado tequila

1/2 oz Aperol

3/4 oz lemon juice

ETA I failed to list one step. First: whisk or muddle the jelly and booze to incorporate it.

Shake without ice, then with ice. Just as good as it sounds and so beautiful.

Yes, there was a little guava jelly left and it got me thinking - Aperol for the Italian influence, Guava for the Cuban, Mezcal for the smoke (we are Cigar City)

    Jelly should get considered more for a cocktail ingredient! I've only done this once or twice, just to use up the dregs of a jar of jam.

    I just noticed the foam... I'd have expected a lot more from a whole egg's worth of egg white.

    Yeah I should have noticed too - unfortunately I was too loosey goosey with my kitchen safety and didn't refrigerate them fast enough and lost my Sunday to food poisoning. Not a mistake I will make twice, ouch and yuck.
