Devil’s Tears Margarita
+ 2 Likes
Submitted on: May 16, 2024
Here is a whiskey take on a Devil's Margarita. I’ve made a few different whiskey and mezcal margarita-type cocktails, but this by far has been my favorite. Not to mention I love the combination of red wine with whiskey. The addition of the Copper Pot Irish Whiskey by Writers' Tears Whiskey adds a nice layer of fruitiness, such a smooth and easy drinking whiskey!

In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients except red wine. Shake with ice and strain over fresh ice. Using the back of a bar spoon float a layer of red wine on top. Garnish with lemon and/or lime wheels and enjoy!
Editor's Note
Irish copper‑pot whiskey meets smoky mezcal, sweet honey and a ruby red‑wine float for a layered twist on the classic margarita.

This sounds like a fantastic way to bridge the gap between whiskey and the classic sour format! Do you have a specific type of red wine you prefer to use for the float to get that perfect layer?
