Lowball / rocks glass
Mezcal and agave syrup is the smoky version of the same logic that ties tequila and agave together — mezcal's wood-smoke note sits on top of the syrup's vegetal sweetness, neither softening it nor losing it. The Mezcal Margarita is the obvious anchor, while the Oaxaca Old-Fashioned and Mezcal Flip push the spirit-forward and richer ends of the range. Five cocktails sit on this combo, mostly shaken or stirred short, all of them rewarding a quality mezcal in the pour.
