» Haven’t heard of Mezcal before now? It’s time to get to know this smoky beast.
Ever since we visited Mexico for the first time and tried a cocktail with Mezcal in it, we’ve been hooked. The sweet smoky flavor of the roasted agave pairs well with so many mixers, and the resulting cocktails are unique and interesting.

This spicy La Piña Mezcal cocktail blends together the sweet tropical flavors of pineapple with the spiciness of a jalapeno and the aromatics of fresh cilantro and smoky mezcal to make a stunner of a cocktail.
This Mezcal Sour is the perfect blend of smokiness from the Mezcal, bitterness and depth from the Amaro, and tang from the fresh lime juice. All of this is topped off with a creamy foam finish.
These Grilled Mezcal Margaritas are equal parts sweet, tart, and smoky. Honey syrup lends a pleasant sweetness, the grilled lemon juice is tart and complex, and the mezcal adds a boozy smokiness.
This spicy, smoky pineapple cocktail with mezcal is so easy, delicately tropical, a little sparkly and such an impressive pool-party signature! Who knew jalapeños could be so refreshing!?
This margarita recipe is refined sugar free. It replaces the sugary triple sec with either honey or agave syrup, for those who are not consuming refined sugar.
A complex and delicious sipper, Blood Orange Mezcal Negroni might rock your world. Mezcal, Campari, blood orange cordial, and fresh lime juice shaken with ice and strained into a smoked salt rimmed rocks glass!
Smoky Mezcal Margarita Pops are a cocktail on a stick that truly changes the cocktail game. Serve these at your next party as a welcome drink and you'll have everyone giddy with excitement.
Most Mezcal cocktails can benefit from a rim salt. The smoky mezcal liquor goes really well with a smoky bacon salt, for instance. Any fruity, smoky cocktail can have a rim salt added. It will increase the depth of flavor to the fruit.
I hope you give these Mezcal cocktails a try. You’ll be surprised how well Mezcal blends with various flavors. Pick up a great bottle of Mezcal and get busy mixing!
