We love a margarita, but a mezcalita? <\/em>Do tell. A mezcalita has the familiar sweet and tart elements of a margarita, but with the added smoky complexity of mezcal. This frozen version is SO refreshing and bursting with passion fruit for a fun and fruity twist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bonus? It\u2019s (ridiculously) quick and easy with just 4 ingredients<\/strong> and 5 minutes<\/strong> required. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Mezcal,<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Mezcal?<\/h2>\n

Mezcal<\/a> is a liquor made from agave. It has a smoky flavor that comes from roasting the agave heart underground for several days. It\u2019s then crushed or mashed, fermented, and the liquid is distilled twice, creating the final product.<\/p>\n

In Mexico, mezcal is typically consumed straight rather than in a cocktail. However, the following drink is inspired by an incredible<\/em> cocktail we tried in Mexico (at Manta<\/a>) made with mezcal, passion fruit juice, and a popcorn-flavored salt rim.<\/p>\n

How to Make a Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita<\/h2>\n

Our Manta-inspired take: the frozen passion fruit mezcalita! It\u2019s refreshing like a frozen margarita<\/strong> with the added smokiness of mezcal<\/strong> and the intense fruitiness of passion fruit.<\/p>\n

\"Pouring<\/figure>\n

It comes together by blending just 4 ingredients<\/strong>: frozen seedless passion fruit, mezcal, agave, and freshly squeezed orange juice.<\/p>\n

\"Blender<\/figure>\n

Then we salt the rim<\/strong> for a fun, festive look and intensified flavor. The final steps: Pour, invite friends, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
