This cocktail leans into the darker side of tequila drinks—rich cherry notes, sharp citrus, and just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. It’s inspired by classic vampiro flavors but adjusted for a smoother sip that works just as well for slow evenings as it does for late-night gatherings.
What sets this version apart is how the cherry element is treated. Instead of relying entirely on liqueur, the drink builds layers using fresh cherry syrup and citrus-forward spirits. When you have a smoker available, you can add an extra layer of complexity without overpowering the drink.
It’s vibrant, slightly dangerous, and absolutely not shy—perfect for anyone who likes their cocktails with attitude.
