The Obsidian Sipper cocktail is built for slow evenings and deliberate pours. Dark, polished, and restrained, it leans into the natural depth of añejo tequila while using cherry juice to add structure rather than sweetness. This is a short drink with weight and intention.

Teremana Añejo provides a rich base of oak, caramel, and subtle spice developed through barrel aging. Instead of relying on bitters, cherry juice introduces a dry, lightly tannic backbone that mimics that same structural edge. It adds color and depth without pushing the drink toward syrupy sweetness. A touch of agave syrup rounds the profile just enough to smooth the edges, keeping the finish cohesive and balanced.

Served over a large clear cube in a rocks glass, the Obsidian Sipper opens gradually as it chills. The deep amber tone feels almost inky against the ice. A thick lime wheel brightens the aroma, while a skewered cherry reinforces the drink’s dark fruit core.

The Obsidian Sipper cocktail is contemplative and composed, ideal for sipping rather than rushing.

Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. Stirring preserves clarity and creates the silky texture expected of a spirit-forward short drink.
