Time for a Margarita Moment

Every now and again, I want to go home. When I do, it's great to practice my classic cocktail skills. This margarita is a tried and true recipe that I always go back to. It highlights one of my favorite things to add to margaritas: Mezcal.

Ingredients

2 oz Tequila

1 oz Mezcal

1/2 oz Grand Marnier

2 oz Lime juice

1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Recipe: in a cocktail shaker with ice, pour all ingredients. Shake until nice and cold. Strain into a margarita glass. Ice or no ice is like a salt rim: to taste. For my mom, it's a nice salt rim and light ice.
