Yield: 1 serving(s) Prep time: PT5M Cook time: PT0S Total time: PT10M Ingredients - 4 fresh blackberries, plus more for serving - 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice - 2 oz. mezcal - 1 oz. Concord grape juice - 3/4 oz. simple syrup - Ice - Ginger beer, for topping off - Bay leaf, for serving Instructions 1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle blackberries and lime juice until berries are broken down, 10 to 20 seconds. 2. Add mezcal, grape juice, and simple syrup. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and vigorously shake until outside of shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds. 3. Double-strain by straining drink into a fine-mesh strainer held directly above an ice-filled glass. Double straining ensures a smooth, seedless drink. The fine-mesh strainer will catch any rouge seeds during the muddling process. 4. Top off with ginger beer. Garnish with bay leaf and more blackberries.
