Instructions

Description: The Mezcal Whisperer is an enigmatic twist on the classic 'Last Word' cocktail, capturing the spirit of the original while introducing a smoky complexity and a hint of savory umami. With the mezcal base, it adds an alluring depth that's balanced by herbal, citrus, and floral notes. The drink is perfectly balanced—not too sour, not too sweet, with a dash of salinity to enhance the umami undertones. An edible flower garnish adds a touch of elegance and a whisper of aroma as you bring the glass to your lips. Ingredients: - 1 1/2 oz Mezcal (preferably a high-quality, artisanal variety) - 3/4 oz Green Chartreuse - 3/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur - 1/2 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice - 1/4 oz Simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - 1/4 oz Saline solution or a pinch of sea salt - 1 bar spoon of Yuzu juice (for that unique citrus and umami blend) - 1 dash of Celery bitters (for an extra layer of savory complexity) - Ice cubes (for shaking) - Edible flower or a sprig of thyme for garnish Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass for a classic and elegant presentation. Directions: 1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to chill the ingredients and enhance their flavors. 2. Add the mezcal, green Chartreuse, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup (if using), saline solution or sea salt, yuzu juice, and celery bitters to the shaker. 3. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-combined and chilled. 4. Strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh sieve into the chilled coupe glass. This will ensure a smooth texture and remove any ice shards. 5. Carefully float an edible flower on top of the drink for a fragrant garnish or drape a sprig of thyme over the rim to add a hint of herbal aroma. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the Mezcal Whisperer, a balanced, smoky, and delectably complex cocktail that's sure to intrigue every palate.
