Smokin' Hot Mexican
0
A tart, smoky margarita-style drink: blanco tequila and triple sec under a sharp lime backbone, with mezcal floated on top for a wisp of smoke. The chile-citrus rim adds heat and bite.

AdInstructions
- Rim a chilled coupe with chile and citrus if you like, then fill it with ice.
- Combine the tequila blanco, triple sec and lime juice in a shaker with ice and shake for about a minute.
- Pour the shaken mix into the coupe.
- Lay a lime slice on the surface of the drink.
- Pour the mezcal slowly over the back of the slice so it spreads out and floats on top. A smoky mezcal works best.
