This fall libation is a twist on the well-loved margarita. It includes mezcal, an agave-based liquor made in Mexico.

This delicious cocktail brings about flavor combinations that are truly refreshing.

In a Boston shaker, add all of the ingredients over ice and shake well. Salt the rim of the glasses with chile chipotle and purple basil. Add 3 frozen orange ice balls per glass and garnish with sun-dried carrot.

Relax, indulge and enjoy!
