Today is National Mezcal Day, and in its honor, Casamigos has rounded up some of the best Mezcal cocktails to help with your celebrations.
Launched in 2018, Casamigos Mezcal is made in Oaxaca, Mexico from 100% Espadín Agaves. Our Joven rests up to 2 months and is balanced and elegant with hints of tamarind and pomegranate aromas that are followed by herbal tones of fresh mint and dried oregano. Delicate notes of smoke and black pepper lead to a long silky finish, making it the perfect Mezcal for any of your cocktail needs.
