Mezcal-rita

The Monday Mezcal-Rita is a smokey, slightly more austere take on the classic Margarita. Nonalcoholic Monday Mezcal is the star here, and balances citrus and smoke into rich layers of complex flavor.

• 1.5 oz Mezcal
• .5 oz Fresh Lemon
• .5 oz Fresh Lime
• .25 oz Agave Syrup
• 2 Dashes Orange Bitters

INSTRUCTIONS
