Smoke Signal Cocktail (Recipe)

“Raspberry and mezcal are a delicious combination,” says Josh Rosenmeier, head bartender of Stockade Tavern in Kingston. “The mezcal is smoky, but the fruitiness from the raspberry really balances it out.”

• 1.5 oz. Del Maguey Vita mezcal
• ¾ oz. fresh lime juice
• ½ oz. crema de mezcal (a sweetened mescal liquor made from mezcal and agave syrup mixed together)
• ¼ oz. agave syrup
• 1 oz. framboise lambic (this is Belgian raspberry beer that undergoes one brew as traditional Belgian beer, the second with raspberry)

1. Fill a tall Collins glass with ice and add frambiose lambic
2. Shake other ingredients in cocktail shaker 
3. Strain over Collins glass
