MEZCAL FRESCA
In this mezcal-laced take on an agua fresca, the sweet-tart hibiscus syrup and warm allspice dram act in tandem to add layers of flavor and texture while softening mezcal's inherent smokiness. The mix of grapefruit and lime lends the drink acidity without tipping it acerbic. Because mezcal ranges in flavor, complexity and smoky bite, taste a few and choose one that suits your preferences. And, if you also happen to have sal de gusano - a traditional accompaniment to mezcal made from toasted, ground gusano (the moth larvae that feeds on the agave plant), salt and dried chiles - you can rim your cocktail glass with it. To do so, run the cut side of a grapefruit or lime along the rim and dip the rim in the salt mixture before shaking and pouring your drink.

Steps:
- Make the hibiscus syrup: In a saucepan, combine the hibiscus blossoms and 1 cup water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt, stir to dissolve, then turn off heat and allow to cool completely. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract all the syrup. (You should have about 1 1/4 cup syrup.) Keep it in the refrigerator, tightly covered in an airtight container, for up to 3 weeks.
- Make the cocktail: In an ice-filled shaker, combine the mezcal, hibiscus syrup, allspice dram, grapefruit juice and lime juice. Cover and shake until well chilled. Fill a rocks glass with ice. Strain the cocktail into the glass and top with soda water.

- Everything Good Cocktail. Having a batch of pre-prepped mezcal cocktails on hand means you can bring out the bottle or jar and have a fancy drink with no last-minute effort.
- Mezcal Cocktail with Hibiscus and Cilantro. Steeping hibiscus flowers (or hibiscus tea) gives you a liquid that's tart, tangy, and tannic—ideal for mixing with mezcal, fresh lime, and cilantro for a bit of savory complexity.
- Oaxaca Old Fashioned. If we had to select just one essential agave spirit-based cocktail to try, it would be this riff on the Old Fashioned, made with aged tequila, mezcal, and agave nectar.
- Mezcal Mule. If you like you drinks gingery—and who doesn't?— then you'll love this fresh spin on the Moscow Mule. Using mezcal instead of vodka means a much more flavorful beverage.
- Killer Bee. This spin on the Bee's Knees comes from Nopalito in San Francisco (and their cookbook by the same name.) The mezcal adds a savory note that really works with the earthy honey.
- Marrakesh Express. In this mezcal cocktail from The One-Bottle Cocktail, fresh pomegranate juice truly shines, with a backdrop of savory harissa heat. Get This Recipe.
- Mezcal Sour. This cocktail gets its lofty, fluffy froth from egg whites and two-step mixing technique. The first shake, without ice, helps create the foam.
- La Pina. Smoky mezcal, fresh pineapple juice, serrano chile, and cilantro make for a wonderfully well-rounded, refreshing drink from Amá: A Modern Tex-Mex Kitchen.
- Paloma. Squirt soda makes a great Paloma, but this version starts with fresh grapefruit. You can make it with tequila, but we really recommend trying it the mezcal way.
- Infinity Pool. If you have a juicer at home, put this savory and refreshing celery and mezcal cocktail on your happy hour menu tonight. A bit of Lillet fills out the drink nicely, and smoked salt makes it even better.
