The Oolong Mezcal Milk Punch

This cocktail is a unique take on the classic White Russian, inspired by the flavors of mezcal and oolong tea. It's a rich and creamy beverage with a hint of smokiness from the mezcal, balanced by the subtle bitterness of the oolong tea. The addition of coffee liqueur and vanilla syrup adds a touch of sweetness, while the anejo tequila and Ancho Reyes bring complexity and warmth to the drink. The final result is a beautifully clarified milk punch that's perfect for sipping and savoring.
