In a cocktail shaker or glass jar, combine the fresh blackberries, rosemary, lemon juice, and honey.
Use a muddler to thoroughly squish and muddle the ingredients, releasing the juices and flavors.
Add the tequila or mezcal and a couple of dashes of orange bitters to the mixture.
Fill your glass with ice, shake for 30 seconds, then strain the mixture over the ice.
Top the glass with a little more ice if needed, then pour sparkling water over the top.
Gently stir the drink to combine the flavors.
Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary and a few additional blackberries on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Black Widow Smash!
Pro Tips
- For a smokier flavor, use mezcal instead of tequila.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.
- To enhance the visual appeal, consider using a dark or gothic-style glassware.
- Serve in a chilled glass to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing for longer.
