For a cocktail that brings warmth and a touch of seasonal flair to your glass, look no further than this vibrant, ruby-red creation. It draws inspiration from Latin American spirits but is perfectly suited for winter evenings, whether you’re hosting a holiday party or simply unwinding at home.
The drink combines the clean, crisp notes of blanco tequila with the subtle smokiness of mezcal. These are balanced by the herbal sweetness of red vermouth and the tart, jewel-like burst of pomegranate juice. A hint of agave syrup rounds out the edges, while a garnish of fresh pomegranate seeds and a fragrant rosemary sprig completes the presentation, making it as visually striking as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
25ml blanco tequila
25ml red vermouth
10ml mezcal
5ml agave syrup
25ml pomegranate juice
Ice
Pomegranate seeds and a small rosemary sprig, to garnish
Method:
Combine the tequila, vermouth, mezcal, agave syrup, and pomegranate juice in a cocktail shaker. Add a generous amount of ice, seal, and shake vigorously until well-chilled. Strain the mixture into a tumbler or rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Finish by garnishing with a few pomegranate seeds and the rosemary sprig.
