Looking for a fun, new spot for happy hour? Masa y Agave is your place, and with over 400 agave-based spirits to choose from, you’ll never be without options. The Yelapa Fizz—made with fresh fruit juice and floral flavors—is one you should try for its great taste. Not to mention the fact that it’s whipped together by Courtenay Greenleaf, a first-level certified mezcalier.
“The cocktail was inspired by a trip I took with my fiancé to do Raicilla research in Jalisco, in and near the coastal fishing town of Yelapa,” she says. “I just love the aroma of lavender in the drink.”
DuJour snagged the recipe below.
