Latinos love to celebrate. As a culture, there isn’t much of a reason needed to celebrar or get lit (even on a Tuesday). But what is a party without great food and even better cocktails? Nothing, mi amigos. You’re basically hosting an in-person meeting (a rarity, these days). There are very few things in this life that appease the soul during uncertain times more than a delicious cocktail (drank responsibly). For National Mezcal Day, the hermoso people at Doña Vega Mezcal want to help you celebrate with three drinks that will help you set the tone and party right. Check out their three captivatingly simple recipes below!
