With a sweet-tart personality reminiscent of a classic Jungle Bird, this mezcal cocktail hits all the right flavor notes. “We set out to make something robust and tropical that didn’t end up on the sweet side, plus I love the pineapple juice addition because it makes everything go down smooth,” says Stampede Cocktail Club owner Paul Shanrock.
