Smoke Show

Wicked Weed Restaurant - Asheville, NC

Makes 2 cocktails

Aged rum and mezcal over blood orange and lime—smoky, citrusy, and just sweet enough with honey.

Ingredients

• 3 oz Plantation Rum
• 1 oz Mezcal
• 2 oz Blood Orange Purée
• 1 ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
• ½ oz Honey
• 4 dashes Orange Bitters

Method

1. Add all ingredients to a shaker tin (no ice).
2. Dry shake (10 seconds) to blend the honey and puree.
3. Add ice and shake vigorously (10–15 seconds).
4. Double strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over a large cube.
5. Garnish with a lime twist, blood orange wheel, or flamed citrus peel if you're feeling dramatic.
