The Burns & The Bees is a modern cocktail that was created by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, to accompany a jenga-style party game called Tipsy Tiles. In the description of her game, the creator Kirsten Schulz explains that its creative rules came to be over "many tequila-infused nights," so this recipe calls for a poblano-infused tequila for the base, sweetened it with honey, and topped it with a spray of mezcal so it would be sweet, spicy, and a little bit smoky—just like the game.
Add tequila, triple sec, raspberry liqueur, lime juice, honey syrup, and bitters to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Spray mezcal over top.
Garnish with lime slice.
