Mango Mezcal Fizz

The Mango Mezcal Fizz is light, smoky, and just the right amount of tropical. Mezcal adds a subtle earthiness that pairs well with sweet mango purée, bright lime juice, and a touch of agave. Topped with sparkling wine, it’s crisp and bubbly with a smooth finish. It’s a great pick when you want something refreshing but with a little complexity.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Mezcal Fizz is smoky, fruity, and crisp with just a touch of sweetness. Mezcal brings its signature earthiness and light smoke, while mango purée adds a soft tropical flavor. Lime juice sharpens the edges, and a hint of agave nectar smooths it out without making it sugary. Sparkling wine tops it off with fizz and a dry finish that balances the fruit. It’s refreshing, lightly complex, and not too boozy. Each sip gives you a pop of mango, a splash of citrus, and that smoky mezcal lingering in the background.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a shaker, jigger, citrus press, and fine mesh strainer. A bar spoon helps stir the sparkling wine in gently. Use a coupe or flute to keep the fizz fresh and the pour clean. A peeler works for making the lime twist garnish. This cocktail doesn’t need much gear, but shaking the base before adding bubbles is key to getting the texture and flavor just right. Chill your glass ahead of time so the sparkling wine stays cold and lively in the glass.
