Equipment
- 1 smoked cocktail kit
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 0.5 ounce agave syrup
- 0.5 ounce creme de cassis
Instructions
- Muddle the berries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. You'll need a muddler but in a pinch you could use the back of a spoon. You want to squeeze out as much of the juice as you can.
- Add the lime juice, agave syrup, tequila, and creme de cassis.
- Add 2-3 ice cubes and put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
- Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer to catch all the blackberry seeds.
- Put the wooden plate with mesh shavings basket over the top of the glass.
- Add shavings to the mesh basket and ignite it with the torch.
- Hold the flame on the shavings until the top of the glass fills with the desired amount of smoke.
- Turn off the torch, and when ready, remove the wooden plate.
- Garnish and enjoy!
