Ingredients
8 fresh blackberries
1 small rosemary sprig
50 ml vodka
25 ml orange liqueur
60 ml pomegranate juice
15 ml lemon juice
15 ml maple syrup
60 ml sparkling water
1 cinnamon stick (for smoking and garnish)
8 fresh blackberries
1 small rosemary sprig
90 ml pomegranate juice
10 ml orange juice
Orange zest from 1 small piece
15 ml lemon juice
15 ml maple syrup
60 ml sparkling water
1 cinnamon stick (for smoking and garnish)
5 ml apple cider vinegar (optional, for added tang)
Instructions
1-First, gather all your ingredients and tools, like a shaker and a kitchen torch. Start by smoking a cinnamon stick and rosemary sprig on a heat-proof tray, then cover a cocktail glass with the smoke to let it infuse for 2 to 5 minutes before adding ice. This step creates that bold, aromatic base that’s the star of the show.
2-Next, in a shaker, muddle the fresh blackberries with the rosemary to release their juicy flavors. For the cocktail, add 50 ml vodka, 25 ml orange liqueur, 60 ml pomegranate juice, 15 ml lemon juice, and 15 ml maple syrup. If you’re making the mocktail, skip the vodka and orange liqueur, and instead use 90 ml pomegranate juice, 10 ml orange juice, zest from one small orange piece, 15 ml lemon juice, 15 ml maple syrup, and optionally 5 ml apple cider vinegar.
3-Shake everything well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
4-Strain or pour the mixture over ice in your smoked glass.
5-Top it off with 60 ml sparkling water or ginger beer for a fizzy finish.
6-For extra flair, light the cinnamon stick and rosemary briefly before serving as a garnish.
Notes
🔥 Smoking the cinnamon stick and rosemary adds a rich smoky aroma and impressive visual appeal to your cocktail
