Mezcal Sunrise

If you fall under these categories, this mezcal sunrise is literally calling your name:

  1. it’s hot outside

  2. you’re a new mezcal lover

  3. you like spicy things

This has all of those yummy summer flavors wrapped up into one, tall drink. We’ve got tangy, bright, smokey, sweet, spicy. I, personally, don’t think I could ask for anything more!? If you’re not a mezcal lover, it’s super easy to just swap out the mezcal for some tequila.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz lime juice

  • 3 oz freshly squeezed orange juice

  • 2 oz mezcal

  • 5-7 drops spicy bitters

  • ½ oz grenadine

  • garnish: orange slice, brandied cherry

Directions:

Add lime juice, orange juice, mezcal, and spicy bitters into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain in a tall glass over crushed ice, top with more crushed ice, and drizzle the grenadine on top. Garnish with an orange slice and a brandied cherry.
