Next on the list is Del Maguey Vida. This is the most popular one so you’ve probably seen it everywhere in bars and restaurants as it’s in every bartender’s back pocket. There’s a reason for that – it’s probably the most versatile. From smokiness to fruit and citrus notes, with a hint of vanilla, it’s really a crowd pleaser. At $40 a bottle, you can’t go wrong with this go-to mezcal for crafting a wide range of cocktails.

 

 

3. Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Last but certainly not least, we have Ilegal Mezcal Reposado. This is our personal favorite because not too many mezcals come in a repo. This unique reposado mezcal offers a darker hue and a touch of sweetness, making it perfect for citrus-forward cocktails like margaritas and Palomas. It’s less spicy but bursting with flavor, making it a must-have addition to your home bar.
