Last week my wife and I visited a New Mexican restaurant in our little town and I ordered one of their cocktails and “upgraded” the regular tequila to Mezcal. My first taste of Mezcal and I was hooked - similar to my first dalliance with peated scotch! My first mission this weekend was to find a bottle of Mezcal and the second mission was to head to Diffords to give me some pointers in the direction of some good recipes. And this Mezcal Margarita was no disappointment! A very well balanced drink with nuances of all the separate ingredients coming through on every sip. I made mine with Perro D San Juan and this might become my go-to margarita.
