I love mezcal.  It’s like tequila’s rougher, somewhat crazy cousin.  I love the smoke, the sharpness and the depth of flavors.  I had some orange juice in the fridge and decided to try a Tequila Sunrise with some smokey mezcal in place of the tequila.  Behold, friends, the Wildfire Sunset.
Wildfire Sunset
2 oz Smokey Mezcal 3 oz Orange Juice Splash of Grenadine
1) Combine the mezcal and orange juice in a rocks glass with ice 2) Drizzle the grenadine into the center of the drink
Note: We have more than a few forest fires here in Colorado (thankfully few this summer). When one is burning the sunsets are frequently deep red and you can smell smoke in the air. Seems rather fitting for this cocktail.
