Oaxacan Margarita

The Trece Monos Oaxacan Margarita is a classic cocktail that is a favorite at Mexican bars and restaurants. The combination of Trece Monos mezcal, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup creates a balanced and flavorful drink. The Margarita is believed to have originated in the 1930s in either Tijuana or Mexico City, and has since become a staple at happy hours and parties around the world.

In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz Trece Monos mezcal, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Shake well and strain into a margarita glass rimmed with salt. Garnish with a lime wedge.
