    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • You can substitute tequila for mezcal.  Tequila will not have the same smoky flavor but the drink will be just as good!
  • You can definitely be creative with your garnishes - possibilities include cinnamon sticks, lime wedges, or salt to rim your glass.
  • If you prefer your drink to be sweeter, add an extra teaspoon of apple jam.  If you want it less sweet, use only one teaspoon.
  • If you don't have pear liqueur, you can use an apple liqueur or just use another 1/2 ounce of triple sec.
