Mezcal: trending! Like tequila, mezcal is made from the agave plant, but it’s got an inherent smokiness, too. If you haven’t had it before, this cocktail recipe is a great place to start.

  • I’ve made this numerous times in double and triple batches for summer get togethers and have had rave reviews every time. Both from people who like mezcal and those who’ve never tried it. I usually skip the cherries, but my wife likes adding a good quality cherry into the mix.
