Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and tools needed for the cocktail preparation, including a cocktail shaker, measuring jigger, and a strainer.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In the cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of mezcal, 1 oz of fresh blood orange juice, and 0.5 oz of bergamot syrup. This combination will create the base flavor of your cocktail.

  3. 3

    Add Vermouth

    Pour in 1 oz of vermouth into the shaker to balance the strong flavors of mezcal and blood orange.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture adequately.

  5. 5

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  6. 6

    Strain into Glass

    Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into a chilled glass, ensuring that no ice cubes make it into the final drink.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a slice of blood orange and a few mint leaves for aromatic appeal before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve your Messina Pass cocktail immediately while it's cold and enjoy the blend of flavors.
