Los Angelitos Punch

SAMUEL KIM

Published on October 9, 2018

Adapted from a recipe from bartender Tom Lasher-Walker of New York's George Washington Bar, this easy-sipping take on a spicy strawberry margarita fuses the smoke of mezcal with the peppery green notes of Ancho Reyes green chile liqueur. Drawing its Halloween-friendly, blood-red color from a splash of raspberry liqueur, the drink can be scaled up depending on how many servings you need. The name is a reference to Mexico's Día de los Angelitos ("Day of the Little Angels"), the day the souls of departed children return home to spend time with their loved ones.
