Feeling a little blue? Us too. We thought everyone could use a nice, stiff drink today, so we reached for our Martino Gamper-designed tumblers—a perfect shape and size for a mixed drink or generous pour of spirits—and filled it to the brim with our current favorite mezcal margarita—tinted blue, because, well, it felt right. The use of an amaro here (one that's a little sweet and a little orange-y) makes this drink especially delicious. We love the Angeleno Amaro, made from California white wine, sweet orange, chamomile, and gentian root, along with spices and other local botanicals.

Makes one drink

Ingredients

• 1 ½ ounces mezcal
• 1 ounce Angeleno Amaro
• 1 ounce freshly-squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon of agave nectar
• ¼ teaspoon blue “phytocyanin” spirulina powder (optional but fun)
• a handful of ice
• fine pink salt for rimming the glass

Instructions

1. Put all the ingredients in a large Ball jar and shake it vigorously until all the blue spirulina powder and agave nectar are dissolved.
2. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your tumbler and invert it onto a plate of salt to fully coat. 
3. Add a few fresh ice cubes to the glass, if desired, and then pour over the contents of the jar through a strainer. 
4. Repeat, as needed!
