Sip on this smoky and sweet cocktail. This tequila-based cocktail combines smoked raspberries, sweet simple syrup and a little acidity for a perfectly balanced drink you'll be reaching for time and time again. You can find smoked simply syrup at some specialty markets, but it's easy to make yourself by mixing 2 cups water with 2 cups sugar in a 13x9-inch pan and smoking it, stirring occasionally, at 180F for 2 hours. Let cool and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
