Life is Grape cocktail from Tequila Mockingbird.
Take equal parts of fresh lime juice, agave syrup and shredded mint leaves and muddle into a syrup. Fill your glass of choice with ice and add 1 part of Del Maguey Vida Mezcal. Add 1.5 part of Concord grape juice. Pour into a shaker with the syrup and shake. Pour back into the glass, top with seltzer and garnish with pinwheel lime and mint sprig.
“Many customers like when we do this cocktail in the summer because of its smoky, sweet grape flavor,” said Staffer Roberto Marcos.
