The Smoky Peach Tea Margarita is a creative evolution of the classic Margarita, fusing smoky mezcal with the sweet juiciness of peach and the tannic depth of brewed black tea. Emerging from the modern craft cocktail movement, it reflects the growing appetite for bold, layered flavours and the global fusion of ingredients. The name “Team” nods to the collaborative nature of its components—each ingredient plays a role in balancing sweet, smoke, citrus, and tannin. It's a drink that bridges the familiar comfort of peaches with the adventurous bite of mezcal.

• 45ml mezcal (or tequila for a milder version)
• 30ml peach purée (or muddled ripe peach)
• 20ml cooled black tea (strongly brewed)
• 20ml fresh lime juice
• 10ml agave syrup
• Ice cubes
• Tajín or smoked salt (rim – optional)
• Peach slice or lime wheel (for garnish)

Optional: Rim your glass with Tajín or smoked salt and set aside.

In a cocktail shaker, combine mezcal, peach purée, black tea, lime juice, and agave syrup.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds.

Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish with a peach slice or lime wheel.

Sip slowly and enjoy the fusion of smoky, fruity, and citrusy flavours.
