Mezcalita Verde Cocktail

Get a taste of Mexico with this mezcalita verde cocktail.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pineapple, skin removed and chopped

  • 1 bunch of parsley

  • 3 limes, juiced

  • 1 cucumber, chopped, slices reserved for garnish

  • ¼ - ½ green jalapeño

  • agave syrup, to taste

  • 50ml Mezcal

Instructions:

STEP 1

Make the jugo verde by whizzing the pineapple, parsley, lime juice, cucumber and 200-250ml water in a blender. Add the jalapeño (the amount will depend on how spicy you’d like it) and blend. Adjust the sweetness by adding some agave syrup. Strain into a jug and chill – this makes about 800ml, use for another round of cocktails, or freeze the leftovers.

STEP 2

Mix the mezcal with a dash of agave syrup, 50ml of the jugo verde and some ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into glasses with a slice of cucumber for garnish.
