Our Favorite Mezcal Cocktail Recipes to Sip the Smoky Spirit
Shake up something smoky.
Mezcal is known for its unique smokiness and smooth finish; keeping that in mind, a good mezcal doesn’t need much added for it to be sipped and enjoyed. Though if you are a fan of shaking, stirring, and serving up cocktails, mezcal makes for a perfect spirit that won’t be overpowered by added juices or edible garnishes—that’s why we’ve gathered up our favorite cocktail recipes to make with mezcal.
Try a mezcal-based Bloody Mary with Tajín seasoning for a summery daytime drink, or a few creative takes on the classic paloma cocktail. For a floral and earthy drink, you can’t go wrong with hibiscus and mezcal.
Whether you’re gearing up for a Cinco De Mayo get-together or just looking for something to sip on after a long day, we’ve got you covered with our top picks below.
