Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Mezcalum Espadin or Cuishe Mezcal
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 oz agave nectar (or simple syrup)
  • Crushed ice
  • Mint sprigs for garnish
  • Optional: Lime wedge for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Muddle the Mint: In a sturdy julep cup or rocks glass, gently muddle the mint leaves with the agave nectar. Don't over-muddle; you want to release the oils, not pulverize the leaves.

  3. Pack with Ice: Fill the glass completely with crushed ice.

  5. Garnish: Garnish with a generous sprig of fresh mint and, if desired, a lime wedge.

Mezcal Hot Toddy

Cocktail star

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Mezcalum Mezcal (Espadin or Cuishe)
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey (preferably raw and unfiltered)
  • 1 slice of fresh chili (Jalapeño or Fresno for a subtle heat, or Habanero for a spicy kick!)
  • 4 oz hot water
  • Lemon wheel (for garnish)
  • A dash of cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Glass: Start by heating a mug or glass with some hot water to warm it up.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a separate heatproof glass, combine Mezcalum mezcal, fresh lemon juice, honey, and your chili slice. Stir well to dissolve the honey into the mezcal mixture.
  3. Add Hot Water: Pour the hot water into your glass with the mezcal mixture and stir again to blend everything together. You can adjust the amount of water to suit your taste—more water for a lighter flavor, less for a stronger mezcal presence.
  4. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a lemon wheel and, if desired, a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth and spice. Sip slowly and let the smoky, spicy warmth take over.

Mezcal Pumpkin Spice Latte

SEE RECIPE
Cocktail star

Ingredients:

For the Cocktail:

  • 2 oz Mezcalum Mezcal (Shop Mezcalum here)
  • 1 oz freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
  • 1 oz pumpkin spice syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 oz heavy cream (or a dairy-free alternative like oat milk for a vegan twist)
  • Ice (enough to fill your shaker)

For the Garnish:

  • Whipped cream (optional, but indulgent!)
  • A light dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin spice
  • Cinnamon stick or star anise (optional, for extra flair)

Instructions:

Step 1: Chill Your Glass

Before you begin, place a martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A chilled glass enhances the experience by keeping the drink cold and refreshing.

Step 2: Brew Your Espresso

Prepare a shot of espresso or strong coffee. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the shaker. Freshly brewed espresso brings out the best flavors in this cocktail, balancing mezcal’s smokiness with its bold, bitter notes.

Step 3: Build the Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine:

  • 2 oz of Mezcalum Mezcal
  • 1 oz of pumpkin spice syrup
  • 1 oz of espresso
  • 1 oz of heavy cream (or your preferred non-dairy option)

Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid tightly.

Step 4: Shake It Up

Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures the ingredients are well-mixed and chilled while creating that luscious, creamy texture.

Step 5: Strain and Serve

Remove your chilled martini glass from the freezer. Strain the cocktail into the glass, letting the silky liquid settle beautifully.

Step 6: Garnish Like a Pro

Top with a dollop of whipped cream (if desired) and a dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin spice. For a stunning presentation, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a piece of star anise.
