Aptly named and absolutely unforgettable, this cocktail, created by Jordan Hughes, is loosely Old Fashioned–style. The cocktail delivers big flavor with minimal ingredients. Smoky mezcal sets the stage, Green Chartreuse steals the spotlight, and a few dashes of lavender bitters tie it all together with a soft floral finish.

Editor's Note
Mezcal and Green Chartreuse anchor this spirit-forward riff. Orgeat adds a nutty, velvety texture that balances the herbal intensity.
