Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
Peeled zest of 4 lemons, plus 1 1/2 cups fresh juice
12 ounces mezcal, chilled
6 ounces orange liqueur, such as Cointreau, chilled
Orange rounds, coarse sea salt or margarita salt, and frozen lemon wedges (or ice) for serving

Steps:

  • Syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, lemon zest, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Strain, discarding zest; stir in lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 2 weeks. Makes 2 cups.

Add orange rounds and frozen lemon wedges to pitcher. Pour drinks into prepared glasses; serve with more orange rounds and frozen lemon wedges.

LEMON MEZCAL MARGARITA



Lemon Mezcal Margarita image

Say hello to summer's new go-to drink. Instead of the traditional lime juice used in a margarita, we went with lemon juice to soften the smokiness of the mezcal. It's light and refreshing enough for a pool party but has a little edge thanks to its salt and pepper rim.
