Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp Black sanding sugar
  • 1 Lemon wedge
  • 2 oz Premium Vodka
  • 1.5 oz 100% Pomegranate juice (Unsweetened)
  • 0.5 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.25 oz Agave nectar
  • 0.5 oz Raspberry liqueur

Instructions:

  1. Place the black sugar on a small flat plate. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into the sugar, rotating slowly to ensure a thick border. Set glass aside.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with large ice cubes. Add the vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and agave nectar.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosted and bone-chillingly cold.
  4. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass using a Hawthorne strainer. Hold a bar spoon just above the surface and slowly drizzle the raspberry liqueur over the back of the spoon to create a sinking bleed effect.
