Crème brûlée is not simply about intensely satisfying vanilla notes. The joy of crème brûlée is tasting the contrasts - the hot/savory note of burnt sugar and the cool/sweet interior, and above all the the audible crack of its hard shell giving way to the luxuriantly velvet-textured custard underneath.

Though this decadent recipe is a study in simplicity, be sure to use quality ingredients. Your better half will appreciate your efforts.

We're mixing things up with this classic gin cocktail. Instead of gin, we're adding mezcal. It adds a smoky flavor that blends magically with the sweet and bitter flavors in the cocktail.

The Old Fashioned is a cocktail staple and has stayed the most consistent since its origin compared to other long-standing cocktails. The only slight change we've seen over the past 200 years or so is the popular switch from rye whiskey to bourbon. And now - Mezcal.

This one is a real fire breather. Sweet and smokey flavors engross your palate and your tongue is left with the heat from the chile vodka. Lucky for you the citrus saves the day with a cool touch. WARNING: You may have to limit yourself to one glass with this intense, but weirdly intriguing cocktail.

The Humo Rosa is an intricately mixed cocktail full of sweet and smokey flavors. The Mezcal, ginger liqueur and grenadine flow perfectly together to create an uniquely flavorful spring cocktail.

Mezcal is definitely becoming a new fan favorite. This smoky summer sipper is a twist on the classic vodka mule cocktail. The smoky profile of the Mexican spirit shines through when combined with ginger beer in this Mezcal Mule with bite.
