Garnish: One small lime wedge and one dark cherry on a short pick with one compact red-white-and-blue paper parasol; serve with one straw

1. 01

   Pre-chill one hurricane glass, prepare exactly one small lime wedge and one dark cocktail cherry on a short pick with one compact red-white-and-blue paper parasol, set aside one straw, and measure two separate 210 ml scoops of crushed ice.

2. 02

   Add 10 ml grenadine to the bottom of the chilled glass and cover it evenly with one quarter of the first crushed-ice scoop.

3. 03

   Blend 40 ml blanco tequila, 20 ml triple sec, 20 ml lime juice, 7.5 ml rich syrup, 5 ml agave syrup, 0.25 barspoon xanthan gum, and the remaining first scoop of crushed ice until smooth.

4. 04

   Pour the pale tequila-lime mixture gently over the grenadine base so the lower red and middle off-white layers remain distinct.

5. 05

   Blend 40 ml mezcal, 20 ml blue curaçao, the remaining 20 ml lime juice, 7.5 ml rich syrup, 5 ml agave syrup, 0.25 barspoon xanthan gum, and the second crushed-ice scoop until smooth, then pour it gently as the top layer.

6. 06

   Set the single lime-and-cherry parasol pick neatly at the rim, add the single straw, and serve immediately without any extra garnish.
