Hi Reader, It’s officially Marigold season—one of the most beautiful symbols of Día de los Muertos! These bright orange blooms (called Cempasúchil in Mexico) aren’t just stunning on altars—they’re also deliciously floral in cocktails. October Challenge Recipe:
Celebrate the beauty of Día de los Muertos with a cocktail that’s as meaningful as it is delicious. This Marigold Mezcal Margarita is inspired by the cempasúchil flower—Mexico’s iconic marigold, known as the “flower of the dead.” Smoky mezcal, zesty lime, and homemade marigold syrup come together in perfect harmony—earthy, citrusy, and lightly sweet with a touch of warmth. Whether you make it boozy or non-alcoholic, this drink is pure fall magic—meant to be shared and savored. 😊 How To Join the Marigold Challenge ✨ 🍸Start With the Recipe 📸 Send Us Your Creation 📅 Enter by October 31 ✨ Want inspiration?
