Inspired by the tragic explosion of August 4th that hit our city Beirut, this smoky cocktail combines hints of sweet agave, pungent ginger and sour notes of wild thyme. WATA Original adds those crisp and refreshing notes.

How to make this:

  • 3.5cl of Mezcal infused with roasted coriander seeds

  • 1.5cl of wild thyme ginger syrup

  • 5cl of WATA Original

  • Glass washed with Cognac or Brandy

  • Garnish with edible flowers

For the coriander seeds:

  • Roast 20g of coriander seeds

  • Drop in 300ml of Mezcal while still hot and infuse overnight

For the thyme ginger syrup:

  • Stir in 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of water over high heat until the sugar dissolves.

  • Remove from heat and add 1 bunch of thyme and a 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped.

  • Leave for 15 minutes then strain into a jar.
