IZO Spirits

IZO Spirits mixologist, Joree Weatherly, has introduced the Marg IZO Pastor, inspired by the flavors of Al Pastor Tacos.

"Growing up in San Diego, Mexican cuisine has been a part of everyday life for me. This cocktail is inspired by the flavors of the delicious Al Pastor Taco. The Marg IZO Pastor offers an herbal kick with the sweet finish of  pineapple spice that is synonymous with the classic dish. This cocktail is a great way to enjoy some Mezcal on a hot summer’s day preferably with some tacos, salud!” say’s Weatherly.

Weatherly's Recipe:

  • Marg IZO Pastor

  • 1.5oz IZO Mezcal

  • .5oz Ancho Reyes

  • 1oz Lime

  • .75oz Pastor Syrup*

*Pastor Syrup - Blend 1 cup agave nectar, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 5 cilantro sprigs, 5 Thai basil sprigs, 5 parsley sprigs, 5 grams black cracked pepper, 1/2 de-seeded jalapeño. In a covered pot, bring mixture to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Strain solids and let cool. Once cool, bottle and refrigerate. Syrup will last for 2 weeks.
