Mango Mezcal Margarita

I officially have a new favorite drink and it’s the Mango Mezcal Margarita. It’s definitely not too friendly in the sugar department, however in my defense there is no added sugar. Only the sugar from the mango, and life is just too short not to enjoy the natural sugars in life.

The Mango Mezcal Margarita may not be your first pick this time of year as it’s still a little chilly out, however it’s the perfect way to remind you of the Spring ahead. In fact, we were introduced to the combination of Mezcal and mango when we were in Cabo last month for my sisters wedding. Unfortunately, We didn’t discover this combination until 20 minutes before our car picked us up for the airport though. The butler in the premium lounge had come up to us and brought us a taste of the delectable combination of mango and mezcal. After the first sip I knew I had to recreate something of this nature at home.

While this cocktail is extremely easy to make, it does have a little prep ahead of time. If you don’t have time for prep a few hours before I am going to give you an alternative below.
