How to Make Frank’s Americana Revival’s ‘Deathly Hallows’ Cocktail at Home!

The smoky-sweet concoction is only available Oct. 30-Nov. 1 — but the Highland Village institution shared how to recreate it yourself now! The combo of citrus, maple and ginger beer is elevated further by lighting a sprig of thyme on fire, infusing the drink with smoky, herbaceous flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5-2 ounces silver tequila or Mezcal
  • 2.5 ounces cranberry juice
  • .5 ounces (1 tablespoon) orange liquor
  • .5 ounces (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Splash of ginger beer
  • Sprig of thyme

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
  2. Shake and strain into a large rocks glass.
  3. Top with ginger beer.
  4. Garnish with thyme, lighting the sprig on fire for a smoky effect.
