Recipe Inspiration

Having just returned from vacation in Costa Rica, I did indulge in happy hour fresh margaritas. I reserved those for the few afternoons spent lounging by the pool. I didn’t overdo it though. I wanted to preserve my energy for other pursuits like paddling down the Rio Frio and hiking in the jungle looking for birds, sloths, bats, caiman, and monkeys. 

We found all of them and more! 

The food, culture, wildlife and beauty of this rugged country captured our hearts. What a dream!  Have you been? I’ve more to share about the trip in a few upcoming posts, but until then, let’s talk margaritas!

A Fresh Margarita

For this fresh Mezcal Margarita Fizz, I kept it basic. In it’s simplicity, Mezcal is a special tequila with smoky notes derived by the way Mezcal is crafted. In part, the process of roasting agave hearts, the piñas, with mesquite wood yields a unique smoky characteristic in this spirit. But because it’s only a part of this cocktail, the smoky flavors are sublimely subtle. 

Since I love fizzy libations, I topped this margarita with a bit of bubbly club soda.

A Few Recipe Notes 

  • Add simple syrup to taste or none at all (recipe in notes). Agave nectar may be used instead of simple.
  • Fresh lime is a must in homemade margaritas! Before squeezing the juice, roll the lime on the kitchen counter to loosen up the juices. 
  • To make ahead or for a larger batch, mix all the ingredients except the club soda and ice. Store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator until ready for use. When ready to serve, prepare glasses, lime garnish, pour into ice filled glasses then top with club soda.
