Pairing & Mixing Recommendations:
Montelobos is noted for its balance of sweet roasted agave, citrus, and subtle smoke, making it versatile for both sipping and cocktails. 
Savory & Grilled: Its smokiness complements grilled meats like charcoal-grilled steak, lamb, and spicy dishes like Oaxacan mole.
Seafood: The citrus and herbal notes pair well with fresh ceviche, shrimp, or smoked salmon.
Snacks & Cheese: Classic pairings include orange segments with sal de gusano (worm salt), fresh goat cheese (chèvre), or creamy avocado.
Dessert: Its earthy sweetness works with dark chocolate, mango, or berry-based desserts.
Smoky Classics: Excellent for a Mezcal Margarita, where its smoke balances lime and agave nectar.
Spirit-Forward: Use it in a Oaxacan Old Fashioned or a Oaxacan Negroni (replacing or splitting the gin with mezcal).
Refreshing Highballs: Mixes perfectly in a Smoky Paloma with grapefruit soda and a pinch of salt.
Innovative Cocktails: Try a Lobo Negro, which uses ripe summer berries and ginger beer to highlight the spirit's "dark sweetness".
