Method
Prepare Glass
Make Cocktail
Muddle three fresh blackberries in the bottom of a shaker until broken down and juicy (about 10–15 seconds).
Add mezcal (1.5 oz), blackberry liqueur (0.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), simple syrup (0.5 oz), and a pinch of food-grade activated charcoal if using. Add 2 dashes of bitters.
Fill the shaker with ice (about 3/4 full) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy from the muddled fruit.
Double-strain into the prepared chilled rocks glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in a coupe if preferred) to remove blackberry seeds and pulp. Use a fine-mesh strainer over the hawthorn for a cleaner result.
Garnish & Serve
Skewer a blackberry (or two) and rest on the rim, or float a lime wheel. If desired, lightly express the lime wheel over the drink (twist to release oils) before dropping it in.
Serve immediately. Optionally, for a smoky aromatic finish, gently torch a lime peel over the drink or add a light spritz of mezcal on top and quickly cover to trap aroma for a few seconds before presenting.
