Coconut Mezcal Margarita for 4th of July

I asked what 4th of July drink I should bring back this year, and you picked the Star Spangled Margarita. Instead of repeating the same thing, I made a new version: the Star Spangled Margarita 2.0. It’s a coconut mezcal margarita with fresh lime juice, cream of coconut, and a smoky twist from mezcal instead of tequila. In this video, I’ll show you how to make it and explain the difference between tequila and mezcal. I’ve also got a few other 4th of July cocktails and coconut margarita recipes on the channel if you want more ideas. Star Spangled Margarita 2.0 (Coconut Mezcal Margarita Recipe) 1.5 oz. / 45 ml Mezcal (I used Del Maguey Vida) .5 oz. / 15 ml Cointreau 1 oz. / 30 ml Lime Juice .75 oz. / 22 ml Cream of Coconut Shake ingredients with pebble ice and open pour over more pebble ice. ---------------- Video Contents 0:00 Intro 0:28 Difference between tequila and mezcal 1:14 Coconut Mezcal Margarita Recipe ---------------- Barware (using these links costs you nothing, but helps the channel!) - GE Opal 2.0 Nugget Ice Maker: https://amzn.to/46pG02y - Japanese-style Double Cocktail Jigger: https://amzn.to/3QT40Rz - Crystal Cocktail Mixing Glass: https://amzn.to/3PcAdBH - Ice Bucket: https://amzn.to/3a7zz9A - OXO Cocktail Strainer: https://amzn.to/3Ot1ZKc - Stainless Steel Boston Shaker Set: https://amzn.to/3a42o6P - Stainless Steel Cocktail Muddler: https://amzn.to/3yEVxKT - Coupe Glasses, Set of 4: https://amzn.to/3I8fTzb - 3 oz.
