CHARRED-PINEAPPLE & GINGER VIDA RITA 🍍🔥

I’ve taken Del Maguey’s VIDA Rita to the next level with charred pineapple and fresh ginger. VIDA Clásico’s mezcal features notes of roasted agave, tropical fruit and spice that pair perfectly with these flavors, and it’s all balanced with the richness of an amber agave. I served my mezcal margarita with a Sal de Gusano rim for a salty, spicy finish.
This is how you should start your mezcal journey - a simple margarita format with your own twist.
