Torero

A vibrant and smoky remix of the classic "Blood and Sand" cocktail. This recipe swaps out the traditional Scotch for mezcal, mixing it with sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and fresh orange juice for a fruity but roasted flavor profile.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal

  • ½ oz. Cherry Heering

  • ½ oz. sweet vermouth (Contigo uses Carpano Antica)

  • ¾ oz. fresh grapefruit juice

  • ¼ oz. fresh lime juice

  • Grapefruit peel

Instructions:

  • Shake all ingredients together in a shaker tin with ice. Double strain into a coupe. Twist a grapefruit peel over the drink to release the oils, then discard.
