Black Widow Cocktail 🕷️
A spooky, witchy cocktail perfect for Halloween. This smoky mezcal drink features fresh blackberries, concord grape juice, and a spicy kick of ginger beer.
Equipment
- Cocktail Shaker
- Fine-mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 4 fresh blackberries plus more for garnish
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 oz mezcal
- 1 oz Concord grape juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- Ice
- ginger beer for topping off
- 1 bay leaf for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, gently mash the blackberries with the lime juice until the berries are broken down, about 10–20 seconds.
- Pour in the mezcal, grape juice, and simple syrup. Add ice, cover the shaker, and shake hard until the outside feels very frosty, roughly 20 seconds.
- Double-strain the mixture by pouring it through a fine-mesh strainer directly into a glass filled with fresh ice. This catches any stray seeds and gives you a silky smooth drink.
- Top off with ginger beer. Garnish with a bay leaf and a few extra blackberries.
