You’ve probably noticed by now that I love to grill. And with that, sometimes I grill some strange things, like this recipe for a Grilled Peach Old Fashioned Cocktail, or this recipe for Grilled Margaritas.
I’ve wanted to make another grilled cocktail since I made the Grilled Old Fashioned. Citrus is always a great option for grilling because the heat helps release the juices of the fruit. So I figured Grilled Margaritas would work great!
I also substituted in Mezcal, which is like tequila, but has a smoky flavor, perfect for grilled margaritas!
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 10 limes, halved
- 12 oz mezcal
- 2 oz triple sec or other orange liqueur
- ice cubes
- salt, for garnish
