As the days get cooler and the Cowboy Cauldron becomes the go-to gathering spot outside, we’re always looking for seasonal pairings that elevate the moment. This cocktail from chef Marianne Sundquist isn’t a grilling recipe per se—but it’s the perfect fireside companion. With smoky mezcal, bourbon, lime, and a slap of fresh sage, it captures everything we love about fall: bold flavor, a bit of warmth, and just the right amount of complexity.

Whether you serve it straight-up or lighten it with sparkling water for a spritz-style twist, this cocktail is built for slow evenings, good conversation, and a little extra heat from the flames. Trust us—once you’ve had one of these around the Cowboy Cauldron, it’ll be part of your fall tradition.
