Oaxaca Soda Cocktail

Oaxaca Soda is a crisp, beautifully minimalist highball that brilliantly highlights the earthy, artisanal smoke of Del Maguey mezcal by pairing it simply with a bright splash of fresh citrus and the clean effervescence of sparkling water. Built directly over fresh ice with a zesty squeeze of lime, this highly refreshing, sessionable cooler is topped with soda and elegantly finished with a simple lime wedge.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

  • Sparkling water (unflavored)

  • Juice of half a lime (about 1/2 oz)

  • Lime wedge, for garnish

  • Ice

Instructions:

  • Fill the glass – Use a tall glass (like a highball) and fill it with ice.

  • Add mezcal – Pour in 2 oz of Del Maguey Vida Clásico mezcal.

  • Squeeze in lime – Add the juice of half a lime for a zesty kick.

  • Top with soda – Fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water.

  • Stir and garnish – Give it a quick stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
