Make me a fruity, smoky tequila cocktail.

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!
