Figgy Mezcal Margaritas for Halloween


Truth be told - I was aghast when I saw the black liquid pouring out of the shaker... Curiosity prevailed, so I had a sip... and suddenly, I looked at this drink with newfound fondness.

Figs and limes and mezcal and a spritz of soda water.  Give it a try now, practice, perfect it,  and you'll agree it's the perfect Halloween party drink... and then you'll thank me for the idea that Halloween isn't just for children.  Besides, you need an excuse for a party. 

Of course if you are reading this after Halloween, take heart - Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner!
