Smoky Basil Oaxacan Mezcal Cocktail

For this cocktail, you’ll need a good Mezcal (it doesn’t have to be expensive, since we’re blending it with other ingredients).

You’ll also need:

• Plenty of limes
• Natural agave nectar
• Basil leaves
• Salt for the rim of the glass
• Ice

Directions: 

1. Add the basil leaves and lime wedges to a cocktail shaker. Muddle them well.
2. Add the ice, Mezcal, lime juice and agave and shake.
3. Salt the rim of an old fashioned glass. Fill it with ice and extra basil leaves.
4. Pour the cocktail over the ice in the glass. Enjoy.
