I struggle so much when it comes to naming drinks, but with this one so many monikers came to mind—Cobra Kai, Venom, The Basilisk. This drink is more or less meant to be tossed back quickly and crafted to burn! I used Cretan oregano to add a spicy herbal layer and a couple dashes of cucumber bitters for some slight solace from the heat. On a side note, don’t buy this ice mold it is leaky AF, you can’t see here but Mr. Snake only has half a face.

Editor's Note

A high-octane, spice-forward sipper that balances smoky mezcal with a complex, vegetal heat. The custom cilantro ice adds a striking visual element to this intense, herbal-driven cocktail.
