Spicy Mezcal Marg
Spicy Mezcal Marg is a vibrant, trend-worthy take on a modern classic that brings the perfect kick to the Pensador Mezcal lineup (just don't call it a Picante). It builds a beautifully balanced, sweet-and-sour base by combining 50ml of Pensador Espadín, 20ml of fresh lime juice, and 15ml of runny honey, stirring them together first without ice to ensure the honey is completely dissolved. Half of a fresh, sliced jalapeño is then added and gently muddled into the mix before being shaken or stirred with ice to infuse a lively, green heat. Strained to remove the crushed chili and poured into a chilled glass, this exhilarating, deeply refreshing creation is boldly garnished with the remaining jalapeño half, delivering a thrilling wave of sweet, sour, smoky, and spicy sensations with every sip.
Ingredients:
50 ml Pensador Espadín
20 ml Fresh Lime Juice
15 ml Runny Honey
1 Jalapeño (or other Green Chili)
Instructions:
Add the first 3 ingredients to a glass or cocktail shaker without ice, and stir until the honey has completely dissolved. Slice the Jalapeño in half and de-seed (or leave seeds in if you've got the cojones). Add half to the glass or shaker and gently muddle (crush). Add ice and stir or shake. Remove the crushed chili. Garnish with the remaining half.
Drink immediately and relish the full range of sensations with each sip of your spicy, sweet, sour, and deeply refreshing creation.
