Alcoholic Cocktail Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 6 ingredients

Recipe

1 1/4 oz Mezcal
1 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 oz Campari (or Aperol)
1/2 oz Lime Juice
4 dashes Bitters
Ice

Instructions

Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake well, typically until the shaker is very cold and the outside is getting frosty. Next, strain into an ice-filled old fashioned glass. Optionally, can add salt and chili powder to the rim of the glass, and/or garnish with a lime wheel. We also tried this with some rosemary and absolutely loved the additional 'essence' it provided. Make it your own!

About Cranstonian

The "Cranstonian" is a bold and flavorful cocktail that combines the smoky character of mezcal with the tartness of cranberry juice, balanced by the bitter and citrusy notes of Campari or Aperol and lime juice. The addition of bitters adds depth and complexity to the drink, resulting in a well-rounded and sophisticated flavor profile. With its harmonious blend of ingredients, the Cranstonian is a refreshing and satisfying cocktail that's perfect for any occasion.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
