Made with ancho reyes verde and nosotros mezcal. A little dry to my palate but easily fixed. I opted for sal de gusano for the rim rather than tajin, and on a taste decided it could use an orange peel- not something I usually add to a margarita, but fitting with mezcal and sal de gusano. Flaming the peel complimented the smokiness nicely and even added a bit of up-front sweetness.

Beautiful. Probably our favourite margarita.

Really good and even better like this:
20 ml reposado tequila + 2 dash smoky chilli sauce
(preferred instead of 20 ml mezcal + 1 dash tabasco)
20 ml triple sec liqueur/Cointreau
20 ml Ancho Reyes Original
30 ml lime juice
10 ml agave sirup

I always preferred a Mezcal margarita but this is the perfect recipe. I use slightly more than 1/4 ounce of Ancho Reyes.

Thanks Harris. We upped the Ancho Reyes to 10 ml and thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Delicately smoky and subtly spicy" is another perfect description. Classic Margarita taste with a hint of spice heat in the back of your palate and a light taste of smoke as you swallow. Very nice.
