Smoky Mezcal Margarita Recipe
Report
This mezcal margarita is a smoky spin on the classic that's arguably better than the original. It's refreshing and tart, yet subtly sweet, with the assertive taste of mezcal. It's quick to make, and easily scales up to pitcher (aka party) size!

Instructions
- Rub the rim of a glass with a cut piece of lime and then dip it into margarita salt (we used Tajin in the pictures.) Add ice to the glass.
- Put a handful of ice into a cocktail mixer or jar. Add the mezcal, lime juice, agave simple syrup, and Triple Sec and stir well.
- Pour it into your salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
Agave Simple Syrup
- Mix the warm water and agave syrup in a small glass.
Notes
- You can make as much agave simple syrup as you'd like by mixing 2 parts warm water with 1 part agave syrup. For example, you could use 2 cups of water and 1 cup of agave syrup.
- We garnished the mezcal margaritas in the pictures with the spiky leaves from the crown of a pineapple.
