Not just a margarita with mezcal instead of tequila, a mezcalita is more citrus forward with the mezcal providing some spice and smoke.

I know it, you know it, we all know it – the classic margarita on the rocks. Simple, bright, and strong.
Mezcal is simply a distilled alcoholic drink made from agave which means all tequilas are mezcals but not all mezcals are tequilas. Tequilas are made with blue agave hearts while mezcal is made with more than 30 different species, varieties, and subvarieties. After harvest, the hearts of these mezcal agaves are roasted for about three days in pit ovens which give the spirit its distinctive smokey flavor. The mezcal market in the US and across the world is rapidly growing
We’re planning to host a Cocktail Friday about once a month throughout the spring and summer – each of which will feature two similar drinks!
April – Mezcalita & Margarita
