    A smoky, earthy twist on a margarita, this tasty and interesting Mushroom Margarita is a great way to enjoy mezcal and the benefits of medicinal mushrooms

    Mushroom Margarita from Living Well Kitchen

    When I was in Nashville for FNCE in 2015, I went to an event with the with the Mushroom Council (disclosure: it was a sponsored event but I received no compensation for sharing about it), and every dish served included mushrooms.

    Even the margaritas!

    And I've been thinking about them ever since that night in October over 2 years ago!

    When I did a google search for a mushroom margarita, I found absolutely nothing.

    NOTHING!

    And I was -- to be honest -- pretty bummed.

    Obviously, I decided to make one for myself, and did a little research... I found one website that talked about a smoky mushroom drink using mezcal, and it dawned on me that it would be perfect!

    Also, I thought about making a drink with mushrooms and decided against that.

    Luckily, mushrooms powders and mushroom extract powders are easy to get your hands on whether you can make it to a health food store or order off amazon.

    I tested this recipe multiple times because I wanted to make SURE that it was good before I filmed a video and shared it online.

    This is not for someone who doesn't like mushrooms or smoky flavors or earthy flavors because it has all of those flavors. But not in a weird-gross way... more like a weird-good way.

    I can't really explain it other than it is one of those drinks that I want to sip and savor because it is so interesting.
