Inspired by the wild, and developed by some of our favourite mixologists, these recipes are designed to be served as strong as the shaker they came from.

1: DESERT PEAR-ADISE

This refreshing desert-inspired cocktail packs a slightly sweet and smoky punch.
INGREDIENTS
30 mL Blanco Tequila
15 mL Mezcal
30 mL Prickly Pear Syrup (see recipe below)
1 Lime Quarter
3 Mint Leaves
2 Cucumber Discs
Pinch of Chipotle Powder
100 mL Soda Water
Muddle the lime, mint, cucumber, and chipotle powder into a Rambler™ Cocktail Shaker, then add a scoop of ice, grilled prickly pear syrup, tequila, and mezcal. Now shake it like you mean it. Rim a Rambler® 10 oz. Lowball Tumbler with chili-lime salt and fill it with ice before straining the contents of the shaker into the tumbler and top with soda water. For a desert-worthy garnish, attach a strawberry to a halved lime with a toothpick to resemble a fruiting nopal.

WILD INGREDIENT: GRILLED PRICKLY PEAR SYRUP

INGREDIENTS
1.3 kg Prickly Pear
1 Lemon
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2-3 cups Sugar
Halve each pear and one lemon, then coat with olive oil and grill skin side up for 2-3 minutes — set the lemon aside. Remove the seeds and skin from the pears, then juice. Pour the juice in a small pot or skillet and slowly heat it up before adding sugar and the juice from your grilled lemon. Stir until the sugar dissolves, let it cool, then bottle it up.

INGREDIENTS
60 mL Tequila
30 mL Maple Syrup
15 mL Triple Sec
15 mL Lime Juice
