History

This mezcal Margarita variation features subtle notes of orange, peach, and cinnamon.

Nicholas Bennett and Mike Shain created this cocktail in February 2015 at Porchlight in New York City. At Porchlight, the original preparation includes a house-made cinnamon syrup infused with gentian root for a subtle bitterness. The recipe above incorporates gentian liqueur as an alternative.
