This drink finds its inspiration south of the border. Its a good thing that big fence hasn't been built yet. Some of these ingredients are much easier to find in California and the West Coast. But a very well stocked booze barn should be able to order the Damiana if don't see it. Damiana is made from an herb in the chamomile family and is known to have relaxing properties as well as being an aphrodisiac. Mezcal is made from an agave pland that is similar to agave used in tequila making. But, Mezcal is very smokey and herbal which also lends a soothing flavor to this cocktail. We recommend this drink for a lazy day or after dinner soother.

1.5 ounces Damiana

.5 ounce Mezcal

.5 ounce gold Tequila

1 ounce Papaya nectar

1.5 ounces Mango nectar

.5 ounce fresh Lime juice

Combine everything with ice in a mixing glass and stir well. You don't need to shake this drink as it does not need much dilution. Strain into margarita glass filled with ice and garnish with fresh mango, papaya and lime.
