This a smoky, sweet, and sour concoctions is truly a heavenly margarita. The mezcal adds a smooth smokiness to the classic combination of tart citrus and sweetness that is a margarita. The very first sip will take you straight to the blue agave fields of Oaxaca. After a few of these, you might even start to hear the far-off melodies of a mariachi band playing sweet notes of relaxation. Enjoy!
