Ingredients

½ tablespoon lime zest
2 tablespoons smoked alder salt
Lime wedge
1½ ounce tequila (Centenario Rosangel)
¾ ounce Cointreau
¾ ounce fresh lime juice
¾ ounce fresh carrot juice
Blackberries
Mole Bitters (Brooklyn Hemispherical Blackberry Mole)*

Directions

Mix together the lime zest and the alder salt and place on a small plate.  Rub the lime wedge on the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim or a portion of the rim in the salt, making sure not to over salt. Combine tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and carrot juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into the salt rimmed rocks glass filled with ice.  Garnish with a blackberry and a few drops of Mole Bitters.

 *I’m currently designing a Blackberry Mole Bitter with Brooklyn Hemispherical Bitters that should be available soon.  It’s perfect for this cocktail but regular mole bitters will also work.
