Mezcalita
Bold mezcal, sweet orange, tart lime and a spicy rimmed glass come together beautifully in the Margarita's smoky cousin.
Servings 1 drink
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Mezcal
- 1 1/2 oz Fresh Orange Juice
- 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Orange Liqueur
- 2 dashes Orange Bitters optional
- Tajin for rimming
- Lime Wedge for rimming
Instructions
- Rim your rocks glass by rubbing the juice from a lime wedge along the edge of your glass before pressing it into the Tajin
- Add all the liquid ingredients to your cocktail shaker
- Add ice and shake hard before straining into a rocks glass with ice
Notes
You can use any mezcal you like from something mild like Illegal Joven, to bold and smoky like Del Meguey Vida.
The bitters and spicy rim will add some extra flavor to the cocktail but are both optional.
