Mezcal cocktails are the perfect way to spice up your Cinco de Mayo celebrations. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these revitalizing beverages in no time.




Add chili powder to the rim of your glass for an extra kick of flavor. And if you want to put the "Cinco" in Cinco de Mayo, be sure to use fresh lime juice!




Whether you're hosting a party or simply enjoying cocktails with friends, Mezcalitas are guaranteed to add some zesty fun to your festivities. It will be even better if you use a quality Mezcal such as Del Maguey Vida.




This type of Mezcal has a note of fruity aromatics, a hint of honey, vanilla, and roast agave—the palate offers ginger, cinnamon, burnt sandalwood, banana, and tangerine, with a long, soft finish. The sweetness of the honey and fruit will complement the spices in this cocktail.
