Mezcal Papaya Slushie
Hello, swicy! This pretty batched blender cocktail is made with bright orange fruits and veggies, a few squeezes of tangy lime juice, spicy chile peppers, and smoky mezcal. Blended with handfuls of ice, the flavors meld together into a fruity, sweet-and-spicy drink that’s reminiscent of those slushies you loved as a kid — with a definite adults-only kick. Mix up a batch for your next party! It’s the perfect way to cool down and heat things up at the same time.

Mezcal Papaya Slushie
Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 cups diced, ripe papaya
1 small carrot, peeled and rough chopped
½ red jalapeño pepper, seeded and rough chopped
4 oz mezcal
3 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ½ oz agave
1 oz freshly squeezed orange juice
4 cups ice
1 lime wedge
Kosher salt, for garnish
Directions
- In a blender, combine the papaya, carrot, jalapeño, mezcal, lime juice, agave, orange juice, and ice. Blend on high speed until smooth. If the slushie feels too thick, add ¼ cup of cold water and blend until combined.
- Run the lime wedge around the rim of 4 cocktail glasses. Fill a shallow plate with kosher salt and dip the rims of the glasses in the salt to coat.
- Divide the cocktail among the glasses, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
