RAISE YOUR GLASS: Campfire Cocktail

Campfire Cocktail: Pineapple Mezcal Sour

Are you looking for a new cocktail to sip by the campfire? Or maybe one that’s a bit reminiscent of that rich campfire smoke when you’re stuck indoors one rainy weekend? This drink is just what the doctor ordered.

With the smokiness from the mezcal and sweet and punchy taste of honey simple syrup and pineapple juice, this cocktail may just be your new go-to. It’s a sweet and smoldering treat that’s a perfect introduction for anyone a bit hesitant about the boldness of mezcal. Not to mention that it’s packed with electrolytes and vitamin C from the fruit juices!

That makes it a health drink, right? edm
