Introducing the Smoky Rose Turkish Delight Cocktail
Özerlat x Mezcal Reina
In a beautiful fusion of heritage and modern craft, we’ve partnered with Mezcal Reina to create a cocktail that’s both bold and graceful. The Smoky Rose Turkish Delight Cocktail blends our fragrant Rose Turkish Delight with Mezcal Reina’s smoky, complex Ensamble Espadín / Jabalí. The result is an elegant, refreshing drink that surprises and delights with every sip.
Smoky Rose Turkish Delight Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 50 ml Mezcal Ensamble Espadín / Jabalí
- 30 ml rose syrup
- Juice of 1 lime wedge
- 200 ml cranberry juice, frozen and crushed (for granita)
- 2 pieces Özerlat Rose Turkish Delight (washed and frozen)
- Fresh mint or your favourite herb, for garnish
Instructions:
- Freeze the Cranberry Granita:
Pour the cranberry juice into resealable bags and freeze flat. Once solid, wrap in a tea towel and crush into a granita texture using a rolling pin or other heavy object. - Prepare the Turkish Delight:
Rinse the Özerlat Rose Turkish Delight to remove icing sugar and freeze until firm. - Assemble the Glass:
Place one frozen piece of Turkish delight at the bottom of a cocktail glass. Spoon a generous amount of cranberry granita on top to create a cool, textured base. - Mix the Cocktail:
In a shaker, combine mezcal, rose syrup, and lime juice. Shake gently to blend the flavours while keeping the floral and citrus notes intact. - Serve and Garnish:
Pour the mezcal mixture over the granita and delight. Finish with a sprig of fresh mint or your favourite aromatic herb.
Why This Cocktail Works
This cocktail is a perfect harmony of smoky, floral, and citrusy notes. The delicate sweetness of our rose Turkish delight pairs beautifully with the bold, earthy tones of Mezcal Reina’s Ensemble. The cranberry granita adds a refreshing tartness, while lime juice gives it a bright finish. Together, these elements create a drink that is layered, luxurious, and entirely unforgettable.
Whether you’re indulging in a quiet evening or celebrating something special, the Smoky Rose Turkish Delight Cocktail offers a unique way to savour both mezcal and Turkish delight in one exquisite experience.
