Mezcal Tonic

The Mezcal Tonic is a fun twist on a classic gin and tonic, creating a smokey but refreshing drink that went great with a late-night stop for Mexican food at La Pachcua in Barcelona.

Ingredients

• Mezcal

• Gin

• Hibiscus Syrup

• Lemon juice

• Tonic Water

• Orange Peel

• Juniper Berries (for garnish)

How to Make

Pour equal parts gin and mezcal to a shaker – I do 1.5oz, but adjust based on the size of the drink. La Pachua served these in huge glasses. Then add 0.75oz hibiscus syrup and a splash of lemon juice to shaker and shake with ice.

Add ice to wine glass and orange peel. Optionally add a splash of juice from the orange. Pour spirits into glass and top with tonic water. Garnish with juniper berries and stir before serving.
