Southern tradition meets Mexican fire with effervescent mint cooling

A revolutionary take on the classic julep that swaps bourbon for smoky mezcal and adds sparkling water for effervescence. Fresh mint provides cooling relief from the agave's intensity, while the traditional crushed ice presentation keeps everything properly chilled. This is your go-to drink for hot days when you want something both refreshing and complex.
