Smoky Mezcal Margarita

Method

• Pour

  Using a jigger, measure 50ml of Casamigos Mezcal and combine with all other ingredients in a shaker.

• Mix

  Shake the mixture vigorously in the cocktail shaker until the surface of the shaker feels chilled.

  Strain the drink with a cocktail strainer into a rocks glass.

• Garnish

  Add fresh ice to the glass and express natural orange oils from peel over top of cocktail. Lightly char peel and garnish.

• Top tip

  For a less smoky option, decrease the Casamigos Mezcal Joven pour to 30ml and add 30ml of Casamigos Blanco Tequila instead. 

• Grab a bite

  Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
