Otto's Cocktail

A perfectly balanced, slightly fruity cocktail. It mixes mezcal with a dry sherry (Fino or Manzanilla), a splash of fresh grapefruit juice, and a vibrant touch of raspberry syrup for a sweet, tart, and smoky profile.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz. blanco tequila

  • 1/2 oz. lime juice

  • 3/4 oz agave

  • 1/2 oz. mezcal-chipotle tincture

  • 2 baby tomatoes

Instructions:

  • Muddle the tomatoes with agave syrup and lime juice in a shaker. Add the tequila, tincture and ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a double rocks glass over ice. Garnish.

  • Mezcal-Chipotle Tincture: Combine 4 dried whole chipotles (or 1 tsp. of chopped chipotles) with 16 oz. mezcal and let steep for 6 hours. Strain the peppers from the liquid and store in the refrigerator.
