While some struggle to appreciate mezcal- its robust, slightly smoky character adds depth and complexity to this delicious summery cocktail.

My new favourite fruit cup. The lavender (I used a combo of Ango and lavender tincture premixed) adds a new brighter dimension to the complex smokiness and earthiness of the drink.

I'm very happy to have found this one :-) I eager to try the other fruit cups.
I used Cointreau and no lavender bitters. Added some peach.
I'm thinking of infusing the peach an hour beforehand.
