This cocktail is named after a Dragon from the legend of Saint Romanus of Rouen, which was first recorded in 1394. Gargouille, meaning gargle in English, references this dragon's ability to spew water from its mouth Terrorizing the French town of Rouen, he demanded a tribute of a virgin maiden every year. He was usually given a condemned prisoner instead. Growing tired of the dragon's reign they sent Bishop Romanus to rid them of the dragon La Gargouille lived on the banks of the Seine River. ...

Muddle the cardamom pods in a shaker tin. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel Lulo, also called naranjilla, is a popular fruit in Colombia, Panama and Venezuela. It kind of tastes like a mix between pineapple and passionfruit. I just use the frozen pulp and it's most likely found in a Latin market. It's 1:1 Lulo Pulp to 2:1 Simple Syrup

Editor's Note

Funky Agricole rum and potent Green Chartreuse form an intense herbal backbone. A rare tropical fruit, lulo, provides a tart counterpoint, bridged by muddled cardamom spice.
