What is Mezcal?
Mezcal is a liquor made from agave. It has a smoky flavor that comes from roasting the agave heart underground for several days. It’s then crushed or mashed, fermented, and the liquid is distilled twice, creating the final product. In Mexico, mezcal is typically consumed straight rather than in a cocktail. However, the following drink is inspired by an incredible cocktail we tried in Mexico (at Manta) made with mezcal, passion fruit juice, and a popcorn-flavored salt rim.
How to Make a Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita
Our Manta-inspired take: the frozen passion fruit mezcalita! It’s refreshing like a frozen margarita with the added smokiness of mezcal and the intense fruitiness of passion fruit. It comes together by blending just 4 ingredients: frozen seedless passion fruit, mezcal, agave, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Then we salt the rim for a fun, festive look and intensified flavor. The final steps: Pour, invite friends, and enjoy! We hope you LOVE this mezcalita! It’s:SweetTartFruitySmokyFUN& SO easy to make! It’s the perfect refreshing drink for at-home happy hours, summer gatherings, and beyond! Delicious pairings?
