Make me a fruity, smoky tequila cocktail.
Cocktail Colin says:
For a delightful combination of fruity and smoky flavors, the *Smoked Pear* cocktail is an excellent choice. With a high rating of 4.58/5, this sophisticated drink offers a nuanced experience by blending various ingredients like gin, raspberry liqueur, pear liqueur, Mezcal, and Lillet Blanc. The pear liqueur provides a subtle and refined fruitiness that complements the smokiness of the Mezcal, while the raspberry liqueur adds just the right amount of sweetness and fruitiness. This makes the Smoked Pear a well-rounded cocktail, perfect for those who appreciate a balance of flavors with a complex, smoky undertone.
Alternatively, you might enjoy the *Mezcal Margarita*, which garners a solid 4.5/5 rating. As a smoky twist on the classic Margarita, this cocktail substitutes traditional tequila with mezcal for that distinct earthy and smoky flavor. The blend of lime juice, triple sec, and agave syrup creates a balanced profile that beautifully complements the mezcal's smokiness. This drink is further enhanced with a few drops of Margarita bitters and saline solution, making it a sophisticated and popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts.
Either of these cocktails will deliver a delightful mix of fruity and smoky flavors that elevate the tequila to new heights. Enjoy!

FAQ's
We've collated some quick fire Q&A's on the question to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
What makes a tequila cocktail smoky?
A smoky flavor in a tequila cocktail typically comes from using Mezcal instead of traditional tequila. Mezcal is made from agave but is cooked in underground pits, giving it a distinctive smoky taste.
How do I balance fruity and smoky flavors in a cocktail?
To balance fruity and smoky flavors, use complementary ingredients like fruit liqueurs or juices along with a smoky spirit like Mezcal. A small amount of sweeteners can also help in harmonizing these flavors.
Can I use regular tequila if I don't have Mezcal?
Yes, you can use regular tequila, but you won't get the smoky undertone that Mezcal provides. To emulate the smoky flavor, you can add a touch of smoked salt or a smoky bitters.
What fruits pair well with smoky tequila?
Fruits like pear, raspberry, and citrus fruits such as lime and lemon pair well with smoky tequila, offering a delightful contrast that enhances the overall flavor profile.
Are there smoky non-alcoholic mixers I can use in tequila cocktails?
Yes, smoky non-alcoholic mixers like smoked soda or smoked simple syrup can be used to add a smoky element to your tequila cocktails without using Mezcal.
