Smoky Mezcal Skull with Pomegranate
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Rocks glasses
- Jigger
- Strainer
Ingredients
- 8 ounces mezcal
- 6 ounces pomegranate juice
- 2 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce agave syrup
- 2 cups ice
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the mezcal, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and agave syrup.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
- Fill four rocks glasses with the remaining ice. Strain the cocktail evenly into each glass.
- Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top of each drink before serving.
Notes
Chill the glasses ahead of time so the drink stays cold without extra dilution. Fresh pomegranate seeds give a juicy burst that pairs well with the smoke. If the pomegranate juice tastes very sweet, start with half the agave and add more after tasting.
