Jigsaw’s Choice

A chilling twist on the classic sour cocktail.

Prepare yourself for a chilling twist on the classic sour: Jigsaw’s Choice is a menacingly vibrant, blood-red cocktail inspired by the Saw horror franchise. A mysterious blend of pomegranate juice and blood orange juice set against a backbone of smoky mezcal and a dash of heat, this drink is as sinister as it is delicious. Served in a coupe glass, it’s garnished with a thin lemon wheel and a “blood-drip” rim for theatrical effect. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Mezcal - 1 oz Twisted Alchemy Pomegranate Juice - 0.5 oz Twisted Alchemy Blood Orange Juice - 0.5 oz Twisted Alchemy Rich Simple Syrup - 0.5 oz Twisted Alchemy Persian Lime Juice - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a hint of heat) - Red sugar and corn syrup, for the “blood-drip” rim - Lemon wheel, for garnish Instructions: 1. Rim a chilled coupe glass with corn syrup, then dip in red sugar to create a “bloody” drip effect. 2. In a shaker, combine mezcal, pomegranate juice, blood orange juice, rich simple syrup, Persian lime juice, bitters, and cayenne (if using) with ice. 3. Shake vigorously until well chilled. 4. Fine-strain into the prepared coupe glass. 5. Garnish with a thin lemon wheel floated on top. Glassware: Coupe Glass The result is dramatic, unsettling, and deliciously complex—just the way Jigsaw would want it.
