Smoke and Mirrors is smoky, refreshing, and herbaceous, with Islay scotch and blended scotch providing a rich, layered backbone of peat and malt. Lime juice adds bright citrus lift, simple syrup softens the tartness, and muddled mint brings aromatic freshness. An absinthe rinse adds a subtle aniseed complexity, making it a smoky, layered sour with vibrant herbal and citrus notes.
