the folks at your store should be able to help point you in the right direction!īecause of its smokiness, i always love to pair mezcal with naturally sweet flavors, like pineapple, or in this case – mango! the combination of sweet + smoky is totally & completely to die for – the kind of thing that has you going back in for another sip after sip after sip. similar to tequila or whiskey, mezcal can vary in quality from the kind that’s great for mixing up cocktails to the kind that are best for sipping (& prices increase accordingly, if you know what i mean…). when it comes to shopping for mezcal, or any booze for that matter, i always defer to asking the pros at my neighborhood liquor store for their suggestion. you can find it in most liquor stores right next to the tequila assortment.
MEZCAL MARGARITA PLUS

MEZCAL MARGARITA FULL
These smoky mango mezcal margaritas are so easy to throw together, & so, so, so full of flavor!Īs you may recall, i’m totally a tequila gal, but mezcal is really my obsession. Since we’re flying back to minnesota all day on friday, & jet lag is really real, a huge fiesta of tacos + guac realistically isn’t going to happen this weekend.īut what could totally happen? smoky mango mezcal margaritas. safe to say the trip has thus far surpassed expectations. &, omg, what a seriously beautiful city! we spent our days walking a lot, seeing some of their favorite places, & definitely enjoying some of the local specialties (artisanal gin + tonics!, pints of beer!, fish + chips!, the best indian food!(!!!), etc.). we spent the weekend visiting chris’ older brother & our sister-in-law in bristol, which is about 2 hours from london. chris & i are traveling in the uk this week (terrible trade-off, right?). Pin this smoky mango mezcal margarita recipe for later!!!Ĭinco de mayo is one of my favorite holidays of spring/summer, but i’m (sadly) not sure we’ll be doing anything especially festive to celebrate cinco de mayo this weekend. Speaking of cinco de mayo, what are you doing to celebrate?! tell me everything! i need to live vicariously through you & your plans. given that it’s margarita week & cinco de mayo is on saturday, it was the perfect time to come out of cocktail hibernation & share a cocktail recipe. i honestly don’t know why i haven’t posted one in so long! but that’s neither here nor there at this point. I was shocked when i looked back to see the last time i posted a cocktail recipe was in october. & c) it’s been a minute since i last posted a cocktail recipe. It does not store any personal data.I’m feeling a little enthusiastic today because:Ī) cinco de mayo is on saturday, which is pretty much my favorite day of the year, after christmas.

However, you can use simple syrup or honey if you prefer. Use fresh squeezed lime juice over bottled for the best flavor.Īgave Syrup – Since this is a margarita I like to stick with agave as the sweetener since that’s what tequila and mezcal are made from. Limes – Limes are a necessary ingredient for margaritas. Ones without white or green on them, dark red in color, and that smell like strawberries are your best bet. Strawberries – Look for ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Triple Sec is the other commonly used brand. If you prefer to use all mezcal you can.Ĭointreau – A sweet orange liquor commonly used in margaritas. Tequila – I found that using both tequila and mezcal was a nice way to balance the smoke flavor. I used the Derrumbes brand, which I found to have a lighter smoky flavor that didn’t overpower the strawberries. I suggest asking someone who works at the liquor store if you aren’t sure. Mezcal – The brand you choose is going to determine how smoky the margarita tastes. Ingredients For Strawberry Mezcal Margaritas
