Recipe Details

Diners will go loca for LA LOBA, the hottest cocktail to come out of Miami, Florida’s Loba restaurant. A warm, sweet combination of smoky mescal, passionfruit and pear puree, ginger liqueur, hibiscus syrup, lime, this beautiful behind-the-bar creation is finished with a McCormick Chipotle-seasoned chili lime salt, hibiscus syrup and garnished with thinly sliced limes and mint leaves. Might need more glasses!
