It's Round 3 of our Summer French Press recipes and this week we combined a few of our favorites things to make a smokey, refreshing, and bubbly, Pineapple Mezcal Spritz!
If you haven't heard of Mezcal before, it is a Mexican distilled spirit that is made from an agave plant. Tequila is technically a mezcal, but differs slightly in production technique and in the types of agave used. Mezcal is typically sweeter and smokier flavor than your standard Tequila (we love smokey). This delicious drink requires only a few ingredients, a YIELD french press and a drinking partner ;)
Check out the recipe below!
