A commentary by Robin Karides (@thehousemouse) on a Shaker & Spoon original 🛟:
A guy walks into a bar… and he was disqualified from the limbo contest.
Shaker & Spoon has the coolest cocktail kit for Halloween called Mezcalloween II: Agave’s Revenge 🛟. The spirits must be aligned as my kit spooktacularly arrived right when I received my bottle of Oaxacan Dohba Mezcal. Three creepy cocktails to awaken your taste buds from the dead are in each kit with everything you need, minus the alcohol. Here is the Curse of the Black Bramble 🛟. Check out Shaker & Spoon 🛟 to find out how to get your own Mezcalloween II box today!
Cheers!
Curse of the Black Bramble
- 1.5 oz Dohba Espadin Mezcal
- 1 oz Blackberry-Red Wine Shrub
- Elderflower Tonic Water
- 1 Spritz Rosemary-Thyme Hydrosol
- Add mezcal and shrub to cocktail shaker with ice
- Shake 15-20 seconds to chill
- Strain into highball, Collins, or any tall glass over ice
- Top with tonic water and stir gently with bar spoon
- Spritz with rosemary-thyme hydrosol
- Garnish with rosemary sprig
My rosemary sprig was looking a bit scary, but I guess that works for a Halloween cocktail. I also used berry ice for a little color.
