Rosé and Mezcal Spritz

Did someone say they want a pretty drink? Worry less with this amazing Rosé and Mezcal Spritz—a refreshing and elegant mix of mezcal, rosé, and fresh grapefruit for the perfect balance of smoky and floral flavors!

Rosé and Mezcal Spritz
The combination of mezcal and rosé is beautiful. I have down it as a boilermaker- or shot and glass of wine- but making it into spritz is a refreshing way to enjoy both of them together in a glass with fresh grapefruit. Both rosé and mezcal are terroir driven drinks. When care is taken with production you can really get a taste for the regions and soil the grapes or agave grows in. Most rosé and mezcal go together, but I like to try to pair the notes of the mezcal with those of the rosé.
