Summer Cocktails Using New Mexico Ingredients

Pink Pony Club, Prickly Pear Cocktail

Join the club and mix yourself a Pink Pony Club cocktail. A dash of Prickly Foods Prickly Pear Syrup gives it that rosy hue, along with help from Aperol and a hint of Lillet rosé. Then just sit back and soak up the sunset. Actual pony, pink or otherwise, sold separately.

Hatched (Spicy) Bloody Mary Cocktail

Don’t get us wrong: we love a classic Bloody Mary as much as the next person. But give it a big kiss of NM spice and now you’re talking. And because more is more, we’ve used Teller Hatch Green Chile Vodka and Hatch Green Chile Bloody Mary Mix. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Mind and Body Cocktail

Embrace the dark side with this masterful mix of Vara Fine Spanish Brandy and Eldora Mole Drinking Chocolate with smokiness courtesy of chipotle bitters. Perfect sipping when you’re sitting around a campfire. For munching, toasted marshmallows wouldn’t go amiss.
