Cocktail Hour || Berry Mezcal Cooler

May 18, 2016 ·

mezcal-cocktail-1

When it comes to a little imbibing, I know we're all prone to reaching for our favorite bottle of wine.  That being said, nothing elevates the tone of a party like a well crafted cocktail.  You're bound to score mad hostess points!  After our last shoot, Kara and I were playing with ingredients she had on hand in her kitchen and stumbled upon this cocktail creation-- one of those verrrrry happy accidents, ya know?  It's mostly raspberries, mint, cucumber and mezcal, but keep reading for the full recipe.  It pairs well with slow cooked carnitas, Taco Tuesday, and a long work day.
