Mezcal has been clinking around in the cool kids' glasses over the past few years as the trending spirit has made its way up from Mexico (and specifically, parties in Tulum). The brand new GEM&BOLT brand is taking these cocktails in a direction we love by adding damiana to their bottles, an Aztec superfood known as a mood lifter, nerve relaxant and aphrodisiac. Um, perfect?
Mezcal is a great spirit for those of us looking to live clean. Did you know tequila, by law, only has to be 51% agave? If the bottle says 100% we're safe, but that means if it doesn't, the other half can be any type of grain or sugar-derived alcohol. Mezcal, on the other hand, must always be 100% agave and made through traditional, sustainable methods.
We're mixing up the clean cocktails below for a spooky weekend ahead. There's something for every palate from a blood red beet and honey tonic to a cold brew and cinnamon cocktail perfect for late fall entertaining. [olists num=1][olists num=2] [olists num=3]
