Fiery Obsidian

Description: Fiery Obsidian is a bold and deeply flavorful cocktail that combines smokiness with a touch of spice and sweetness. This cocktail uses a combination of mezcal and spiced rum as the base, offering a smoky foundation with a spicy kick, complemented by the brightness of orange juice and the sweetness of agave syrup. The addition of a few dashes of orange bitters brings in complexity and ties the citrus notes together, while the splash of grenadine adds a hint of color and a touch of richness. The drink is served over crushed ice, making it both refreshing and intense, perfect for savoring on a cool evening.

Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture over the crushed ice in the old-fashioned glass. 5.
