This might look like your average tropical cocktail, but the hints of smoke and spice take it to the wild side. Our Test Kitchen called this blended drink well-balanced and perfect for summer cocktails, especially on those super hot days. Pair it with this cowboy caviar recipe, and your pool day is complete.
“This is such a fun spin on a colada-style cocktail,” said recipe cross-tester Amanda Stanfield. “The mezcal adds a nice bit of smokey savoriness that really helps cut through the sweetness of the Coco Lopez and pineapple!”
