From wine and beer to carefully created cocktails, we love it all. Whether you’re able to make the trek to your favorite watering hole or simply looking to relive an unforgettable evening at your own humble abode. Each month Dailey Blend will bring you our spin on classic cocktails with our own unique twists. My good friend Greg sent me this recipe, he knows I like tequila and amabsolutely obsessed with Mezcal. So the thought of a drink with both liquors involved, I knew it was going to be incredible.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 2-Drinks)

• 3 ounces tequila
• 11⁄2 ounces mezcal
• 2 ounces Cointreau
• 2 ounces fresh lime juice
• 2 slices fresh jalapeño, plus two slices for garnish
• 2 lime wheels, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

In a blender, you will want to combine the tequila, mezcal, Cointreau, lime juice and jalapeño slices. Fill with ice and blend on until smooth. Pour into your favorite salted rimmed glass and serve with the remaining jalapeño.

 

DAILEY BLEND BAR SECRET

Be careful that you don’t over blend the ice; I made that mistake the first time; it was way better when the ice was a bit thicker.
