Enjoy the blend of sweet, smoky, and spicy in every sip!
Don’t like mezcal or smokey?
A good substitute for mezcal in cocktails is tequila so just use tequila blanco in this recipe and omit the smoked salt for regular salt. But we really like San Francisco Salt co.’s smoked salt and highly recommend it to add a nice element of smoke. Tequila shares a similar agave base but has a milder, less smoky flavor compared to mezcal. If you’re looking for a non-agave alternative, try using a peaty Scotch whisky for a subtle smokiness or a smoky-flavored bourbon. Each substitution will bring its own unique twist to the drink, so choose based on your preference and the desired flavor profile of your cocktail. If you want something a little more sweet and balanced try our coconut blood orange margarita!
