Equipment
- Cocktail stirring glass
- Cocktail strainer
- Jigger
- Paintbrush (optional - if you want to paint the syrup onto the glass)
Ingredients
Cocktail
- 1.5 oz mezcal
- 0.5 oz maraschino liqueur
- 1 bar spoon butter-washed cocoa-infused rum (optional - see details in blog post above)
- 3 dashes chocolate bitters
Garnish
- 1 maraschino cherry
- 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa powder (preferably Dutch process)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Mix the cocoa powder and sugar together and place in a shallow dish.
- Wet the rim of the old fashioned glass, using either water or the syrup from the cocktail cherries (I used a paintbrush). Roll the wet part of the glass into the cocoa powder mixture.
- Add the mezcal, maraschino liqueur, cocoa-infused rum and bitters into a cocktail stirring glass. Add ice and stir for a minute to dilute the drink.
- Add a large piece of ice to your serving glass. The size will help it to melt more slowly.
- Strain the drink into the serving glass.
- Place a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick and add it to the glass for garnish. Serve and enjoy!
