The Show Me State is a modern cocktail created by Robert Sachse at 151 in New York City. A nod to his Missouri roots, it began life as a Jungle Bird variation but transformed into a frosty slushie of mezcal, bright citrus, and simple syrup—proof that sometimes the simplest mix can pack the biggest punch.
Add orange curaçao, orange juice, mezcal, lime juice, simple syrup, and cubed ice to a blender.
Blend for 10-15 seconds until smooth.
Pour into a highball glass.
Garnish with lime wheel and American flag cocktail pick.
