Desert Sunset

A bright Margarita variation from Chicago’s fantastic Longman & Eagle that brings in some smoke and savory notes
The sweetness of fresh carrot juice combines with the citrus notes from the lime and orange juices to provide a fresh, fun counterbalance to the smoky mezcal while the smoky Pimenton and salt rim provides a nice savory counterbalance
2 oz Mezcal
1 oz Fresh Carrot Juice
.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
.5 oz Fresh Orange Juice (Cara Cara is best, naval works well)
.5 oz Agave Syrup (1:1 if making from agave nectar, or can use products like the Tres Agaves)
Shake with ice, strain into a chilled double rocks glass that has had a lime wedge rubbed along the rim before rolling in a mixture of 4 parts coarse sea salt: 1 part smoked paprika/pimenton. Add a few ice cubes
