Mezcal, with its smoky and deep character, pairs perfectly with fresh fruits like strawberries and limes. These flavors bring a touch of freshness and sweetness that balances the more intense aromas of the mezcal. Perfect for a summer dessert or a simple yet original way to end a meal.
1. Strawberry and Mezcal Ice Cream: Fruity Sweetness and a Smoky Touch
Strawberries, with their natural sweetness and slightly tart flavor, are an ideal partner for mezcal. This duo creates a beautiful harmony between the sweet freshness of the berries and the smoky character of the mezcal, for a fruity and refreshing dessert.
- Tip : Make strawberry ice cream by blending fresh strawberries with a creamy base. For an intense flavor, you can add a little agave syrup or honey. Once your ice cream is ready with the Ninja CREAMi, drizzle a little mezcal over it just before serving to add depth of flavor.
- Gourmet suggestion : Add a few fresh basil leaves for an herbaceous touch that pairs well with the strawberry and mezcal. You can also garnish with a few fresh strawberries for a pretty presentation.
The strawberry and mezcal combination is perfect for a light and indulgent end to a meal. The fruity sweetness of the strawberry perfectly balances the smokiness of the mezcal, offering a simple yet sophisticated dessert.
2. Lime and Mezcal Ice Cream: Tangy and Refreshing
Lime, with its bright and refreshing acidity, pairs wonderfully with the smoky notes of mezcal. This combination evokes the flavors of a margarita cocktail, but in a frozen dessert version, ideal for those who enjoy invigorating and refreshing flavors.
- Tip : Prepare a lime ice cream by adding lime juice and zest to a light, sweet base, then blend it all with the Ninja CREAMi. Just before serving, add a small shot of mezcal to infuse the ice cream with its smoky, earthy aromas.
- Gourmet suggestion : Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the ice cream for a margarita-like touch, or add a little lime zest for a more intense flavor.
This lime and mezcal combination is perfect for a dessert that is both refreshing and sophisticated. It brings a tangy touch that contrasts pleasantly with the depth of the mezcal, for a dessert that is full of character.
