Perla de la Baja
Perla de Baja is a fan-favorite tropical cocktail from Acre Baja that brilliantly pairs reposado tequila with a subtle whisper of smoke from La Tierra de Acre Mezcal. It builds a vibrant, sun-kissed base by combining 0.5 oz of mezcal, 1.5 oz of reposado tequila, 2 oz of pineapple juice, 0.5 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of passion fruit syrup in a shaker with ice. Shaken vigorously until thoroughly chilled, the punchy, refreshing mixture is strained into a tall glass over fresh ice. This paradise-ready sipper is finished with a crown of a single pineapple leaf and a dashing drop of bitters for an irresistible daytime refresher.

.5 oz La Tierra de Acre Mezcal
