Description

The Marriage of Maguey is a modern cocktail that was created by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, for Mozart Distillery's Coffee Chocolate Liqueur. Inspired by a similar recipe in Death & Company's new book Welcome Home: A Cocktail Recipe Book, this version pairs the smoky flavors of mezcal and tequila with citrus as well as the coffee and cocoa notes in the liqueur to create a decadent dessert drink for those who enjoy the earthy flavors of agave. Its name is also a nod to mezcal and the composer after whom Mozart Liqueurs were named.
