Sumac Sour
In mixology, sours usually contain a base spirit, acid (lemon/lime) and a sweetener so, by definition, your margarita is actually a sour too. But, sumac, a common Middle Eastern kitchen spice, adds pinky-brown color and tangy, bright notes like lemon for a wonderful sour component to this tequila-based cocktail.

| 3/4 oz Sumac extract |

Sumac Sour Directions
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into coupe.
Garnish with lemon peel or cherry plus (optional) sumac powder or sprig.
Optional: To make a lighter, frothier version of this drink, dry shake the white of one egg by itself in a shaker or mason jar. Add the remaining ingredients and ice and shake again, straining into a coupe. For a vegan alternative, substitute aquafaba (chickpea water) for the egg white.
