The Phantom Sour pairs mezcal with lemon, simple syrup, and egg white so a pale foam sits over a smoky base. The look is intentionally ghostly for Halloween, while the drink itself is a clean sour with smoke instead of novelty syrup. Dry-shaken, then shaken with ice, it is theatrical without tasting like candy.

Bartender's Note
Use a gently smoky mezcal so the foam stays the star. Aquafaba substitutes cleanly for egg white.
