Summer Apricot Mezcal Cocktail

Jump to recipe

Apricots scream “summer” to me— they’re sweet and tart at the same time, and that gorgeous pale orange color can dress up any recipe! I had a full fruit bowl of apricots and realized that the sweet and velvety taste from the apricots would balance the smokey, smooth flavor of my favorite mezcal. If you’re still uncertain about mezcal, I think this recipe would also be great with a good tequila swapped in— enjoy
