Ingredients:
1 oz Dos Boots Mezcal
5 oz Cointreau
5 oz Elderflower Liqueur
2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
Muddled Blackberries
Ice
Lemon twist, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Blackberries: Start by muddling a handful of blackberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker or mixing glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the blackberries and release their juices.
2. Add the Liquors: Once the blackberries are muddled, add 1 oz of Dos Boots Mezcal, 0.5 oz of Cointreau, and 0.5 oz of Elderflower Liqueur to the shaker.
3. Pour in Fresh Lemonade: Measure and pour 2 oz of freshly squeezed lemonade into the shaker. The lemonade adds a refreshing citrusy sweetness to the cocktail.
4. Add Ice and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then secure the lid tightly. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will chill the cocktail and properly mix all the ingredients together.
5. Strain into a Glass: Using a cocktail strainer, pour the contents of the shaker into a glass filled with ice. This will ensure a smooth texture without any fruit pulp or ice chips.
6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish the Nice Boots cocktail with a lemon twist for an extra burst of citrus aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
This Nice Boots cocktail is a delightful blend of smoky mezcal, sweet elderflower, tangy citrus, and juicy blackberries. It's perfect for enjoying on a warm day or as a refreshing evening drink. Cheers!
