Ingredients

  • ounce club soda to taste (or )
  • medium ice cubes as needed
  • ounce very young petite sirah 

Equipment

  • sieve

Directions

  1. Lightly crush the cloves and place them with the wine into the pint glass of a Boston shaker. Set the mixture aside about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.Fill the metal part of a Boston shaker 2/3 full with medium ice cubes.
  2. Pour the wine mixture (including the cloves) over the ice, then cap the shaker with the pint glass. Shake vigorously until well chilled; about 20 seconds. Uncap the pint glass and use a Hawthorn strainer to strain the liquid from the shaker into the ice-filled tumbler; it’s fine if bits of cracked cloves and shards of ice are included in the pour.
  3. Add the club soda and mezcal (if using). Stir vigorously with a long handled bar spoon.
  4. Serve.Like this:Like Loading...
