This cocktail is so pretty and perfect for dinner parties or a barbecue. Use good-quality mezcal and tequila for a really clean-tasting drink. You can make your own avocado leaf bitters or use similarly herbaceous bitters for effect. I don’t know what else there is to say about it. Just make it and drink it. It’s really tasty.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups (18 ounces) Casa Dragones Tequila Blanco, chilled
• 2 1/4 cups (18 ounces) Montelobos Mezcal Joven Espadín, chilled
• 3/4 cup Hibiscus Syrup, chilled
• 5/8 teaspoon avocado leaf bitters or Bittermens Scarborough Savory Herbal Bitters
• Ice
• 8 to 12 lemon peel twists (from 2 lemons)

How to Make It

Step

Pour tequila, mezcal, hibiscus syrup, and bitters into a small pitcher. Fill with ice, and stir until chilled, about 20 seconds (be careful not to dilute too much). Strain into 8 chilled glasses. Rub a lemon peel twist around rim of each glass, and drop peel into glass.
