Desolas Mezcal is an artisanally crafted spirit that is thoughtfully produced from 100% Salmiana Agave found in the state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The Salmiana agave, also known as the “green giant,” is cooked in above-ground ovens, resulting in a mezcal with a fresh botanical aroma and gentle smoke. Its grassy, earthy, and agave-forward character is a product of the arid and chalky soil of San Luis Potosi. The highly-awarded mezcal is female-founded, too.

Desolas founder GG Mirvis has created a playlist to pair with this cocktail – think light, bright, and easy, just like the first month of summer. To Mirvis, June sounds like sunshine, slow moments, and a mezcal cucumber spritz. The playlist can be found on Spotify.
