You'll need:

  • 8 fresh blackberries, plus more for topping
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, plus a sprig for serving
  • Juice from half of a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1.5 ounces mezcal
  • A couple dashes of orange bitters
  • Seltzer water, for topping

How to:

Add blackberries, rosemary, lemon juice and honey to a cocktail shaker or jar.

Muddle all of the ingredients together, squishing everything well in order to release the juices. Once everything is well-muddled, add the mezcal and orange bitters.

Strain the drink into an ice-filled glass. Top the glass with a little more ice, pour the seltzer water over, and gently stir to combine. Garnish with fresh rosemary. If you’re feeling bold, add a mezcal float to amp up the smoky flavor.
