Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila
- 1/2 ounce mezcal I like using Del Maguey Vida here. If you use a less smoky Mezcal, it might be good to use an ounce of both the Mezcal and the Blanco
- 1/2 ounce grenadine see recipe below
- 1/2 ounce lime juice fresh
To make Grenadine:
- 2 cups pomegranate juice Make sure it's 100% pomegranate; POM Wonderful is a good brand
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups pomegranate molasses
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
Instructions
For the Grenadine:
- Heat pomegranate juice until just before a boil. Remove from heat and add the sugar, pomegranate molasses, and orange blossom water. Stir to dissolve, and let cool.
Cup of Yum
For the Smoke & Mirrors Cocktail:
- Shake all ingredients together and pour into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with lime and some fresh pomegranate seeds.
