Blackberry Mezcal Spritz

It’s another beautiful day in LA so a spritz felt right. Spritz’s are my go to drink in the summer, or any nice day really, but I am always looking for ways to change them up. In this spritz, the combination of the sweetness from the jam, the smokiness from the mezcal, and the bitterness from the aperol makes the perfect pair! Let’s keep it short today. Just go make this drink, enjoy some fresh air, and enjoy life.

Recipe:

Ingredients

4 oz Mezcal Tequila

3-4 tsp Blackberry Jam (depending on sweetness preference)

1 oz Aperol

Prosecco or Sparkling Rose

To make:

Fill a cocktail glass with ice. Fill half way with mezcal mix. Top with bubbles and garnish with blackberries.

Enjoy!
