Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If desired, rim the edge of your cocktail glass with chili powder. To do this, moisten the rim with a lime wedge and then dip it into the chili powder until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Montelobos Mezcal, Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur, Milagro Silver Tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the mixture as you shake.

  4. 4

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass filled with ice, if desired. You can also serve it straight up without ice.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.

  7. 7

    Enjoy!

    Sip and enjoy the Sweet Heat cocktail, balancing the smokiness of the mezcal with the sweetness of the liqueur and agave.
