Merry Cranberry

Merry Cranberry is a festive, ruby-hued cocktail that pairs the earthy complexity of Prolijo Mezcal Espadín with tart, seasonal flavors. To prepare this holiday-inspired sipper, start by muddling 15 fresh cranberries and 1 tablespoon of orange zest in a cocktail shaker. Add 1.5 oz of the Espadín mezcal, 0.5 oz of orange liqueur, 1.5 oz of cranberry juice, 0.25 oz of agave nectar, and the juice of one fresh lime. Shake vigorously with ice until perfectly chilled, then strain the mixture into a sugar-rimmed glass. This beautiful, balanced cocktail is finished with a garnish of sugared cranberries and a sprig of fresh rosemary for a fragrant, aromatic touch.
