Anthm’s blood and sand cocktail

Serves Makes 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

¾ cup mezcal
¼ cup tequila
1⁄3 cup Carpano Antica Formula vermouth
¼ cup house-made dark cherry liqueur (a blend of Cointreau and dark cherry juice)
4 drops vanilla extract
¼ cup fresh orange juice
1½ T fresh lemon juice
ice, for shaking
4 cherries, to garnish

Method

1. Place the mezcal, tequila, vermouth, cherry liqueur, vanilla, orange juice and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.

2. Strain into 4 martini glasses. Garnish each glass with a cherry on a cocktail pin.

Pairing: Top a bite-sized cube of 10-month-aged white Cheddar with a green olive and an anchovy fillet. Secure with a cocktail skewer.

Cook’s note: The smoky mezcal balances beautifully with the salty, umami punch of the canapé.
