mezcal cocktails

﻿Think of a Rosita like a Negroni going through a rebellious phase. Here's how to make the tequila and Campari cocktail.

How to Make a Rosita

tequila reposado

sweet vermouth

dry vermouth

Campari

Angostura bitters

Make a mezcal margarita for a smoky spin on the classic! It's tangy and smoke-forward, giving this popular cocktail a rich depth.

Mezcal Margarita

(1 ounce) mezcal

(1 ounce) tequila blanco or reposado

(1 ounce) Cointreau

(1 ounce) fresh lime juice

Kosher salt or flaky sea salt,

For the garnish: Lime circle

Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or for a festive look, use Margarita Salt).

Place the mezcal, tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with 4 ice cubes and shake until cold.

Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and serve.

This delicious variation on a classic margarita uses mezcal, a smoky Mexican spirit, instead of tequila. An unusual syrup called orgeat adds some sweetness and complexity to this easy cocktail.

Coconut Mezcal Margarita

oz mezcal (I used Vida by Del Maguey)

oz canned coconut milk

oz orgeat

oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)

serrano pepper (optional) (sliced)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pour all of the ingredients except for the slices of serrano pepper into a cocktail shaker.

Shake until chilled (1-2 minutes).

Double strain into a short glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a slice of serrano pepper and serve immediately.

A spicy mezcal cocktail made with mezcal, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and spicy bitters—essentially a margarita served straight up in a chilled coupe glass.
