Casamarte Mezcal Cocktail

The popularity of mezcal has made margaritas mixed with this agave spirit quite popular, so much so that they have their own name—mezcalitas. This one is elevated with the addition of jamaica concentrate, a tart hibiscus drink similar to cranberry juice that lends a lovely color to the cocktail. You can easily find this on Amazon. At Baja Sur’s Casamarte restaurant, they also infuse the mezcal with rosemary, but regular mezcal works just as well at home.
