Smoking Blackberry Smash

A beautiful pint of fresh blackberries inspired today’s clever cocktail. When married to the smoky nature of Mezcal, the rich, sweet-tart juice of these berries really shines. Add to this a bit of lime and agave and we have what we call, the Smoking Blackberry Smash.  

Smoking Blackberry Smash

In a large Old Fashioned glass add:

• 6 Fresh Blackberries
• ½ Ounce Agave Nectar
• ¾ Ounce Lime Juice
• 1 Dash Angostura Bitters

Muddle ingredients till the berries are pulpy and agave nectar is well incorporated.  Fill glass with cracked ice then add:

• 2 Ounces Joven Mezcal (we used Del Maguey Vida)

Stir till all is well mixed and chilled.  Garnish with a skewer of Blackberries and a Lime wedge.
