Mango Mezcal Breeze Recipes

MANGO MEZCAL BREEZE

Steps:

• Combine the mango pulp, agave syrup and three-quarters of the orange zest in a small saucepan. Using tongs, lightly char each bay leaf directly over the flame of a gas burner on high heat, 3 to 4 seconds. Add 2 of the toasted bay leaves to the mango mixture and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Pour the mango mixture into a small pitcher, discarding the soaked bay leaves. Stir in the mezcal and orange and lemon juices. Add ice and stir until well chilled, at least 15 seconds.
• Combine the salt and remaining orange zest on a plate. Dip the rims of 4 glasses in water, then dip in the orange salt to coat.
• Pour 2 tablespoons grenadine into each prepared glass. Fill the glasses with ice, then pour in the cocktail. Top with seltzer and garnish with the remaining toasted bay leaves.
