Ingredients

  • cups ice cubes 
  • 1.5 teaspoons orange bitters homemade store-bought ( or )
  • teaspoons orange zest finely chopped (colored peel only; see Cook's Note)
  • 0.5 cup triple sec 

Equipment

  • microplane
  • zester

Directions

  1. In a pitcher, combine the mezcal, Limonada, triple sec and bitters. Stir well to combine, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice and pour in 1 cup of the margarita mixture. Shake and strain into two 6-ounce martini glasses.
  3. Add 1/4 teaspoon orange zest to each glass and serve immediately. Repeat for the remaining margaritas.
  4. I typically use a Microplane grater/zester or a 5-hole zester to remove it.
