There’s something about a smoked cocktail that makes it feel a little more special, and this Smoke & Berries cocktail is exactly that. The blackberry and pomegranate are rich and slightly tart, while fresh lime keeps everything bright. A touch of hickory smoke adds just enough depth and drama without overpowering the drink. I love this one for fall entertaining—it’s beautiful in the glass, easy to make, and feels like something you would order at a great cocktail bar.
