Recipe Intro From thethirstygals

This Pineapple Mezcalita cocktail hits all the right notes: smoky mezcal, sweet pineapple, a kick of heat from hot honey, and a bright splash of lime. It’s bold, refreshing, and just complex enough to feel special without overthinking it. Make one, and then probably another.
