  • About

On my last trip to Mexico, I spent my twenty-seventh birthday at the RoMarley Beach House. Upon arrival, we were gifted many items, one of them being flasks of mezcal. If I could be any alcohol, I’d be mezcal. I love how smoky and sweet it is—much like me and this delicious cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 4 oz mezcal
  • 3 oz

Method

Place the cranberries in a cocktail shaker and muddle them for about 2 minutes, until you have a pulp-like consistency.

Add the mezcal to the shaker and muddle the cranberries for another 1–2 minutes to ensure the mezcal soaks up the tangy flavor of the cranberries.

Add the grenadine and fill the shaker with ice. Cover and shake. Double strain the mixture into a short glass fill
