October 21 is National Mezcal Day, an occasion that honors master distillers and the artisanal methods they use to make this increasing popular smoky distilled alcoholic beverage made from the heart of the agave plant. This Blood Wolf Moon Cocktail is a great cocktail to add to your menu as a special on October 21 — and it works well throughout the Halloween season, too!
