Review:
Orange, peach and cinnamon delicately flavour this mezcal-based Margarita riff.
History:
Created in February 2015 by Mike Shain and Nicholas Bennett at Porchlight in New York City. At Porchlight, the original is made with house-made cinnamon syrup infused with gentian root to add a slight bitterness, so you may want to add 2.5ml gentian liqueur to the above recipe.
