The Broady

Created in February 2020 by Simon Difford and named for a local pub patron who loved cherries, The Broady is a dark, slightly menacing, agave-influenced riff on the classic Blood & Sand. The cocktail shakes a base of Reposado tequila with sweet vermouth, cherry brandy liqueur, and fresh orange juice, utilizing a deliberate splash of mezcal to impart a subtle, underlying smokiness. The result is a beautifully balanced, medium-sweet coupe where rich cherry and orange notes sit seamlessly alongside the earthy agave.
