"Cafè Verde Swizzle | Crafted Pour"

"Taking some inspiration from the winner of the Mr Black Coffee Challenge two years ago I started pondering a Swizzle with Mr Black Mezcal Cask. Of course I’d feature Mezcal but what if I chose another famous swizzle to build upon? The Chartreuse Swizzle is meant to showcase Green Chartreuse alone but the herbal liqueur has always paired insanely well with coffee. Together with a double dose of fresh pineapple and pineapple gum syrup, with some fresh lime for acidity, this cocktail pushes past the original’s intent and adds in the cold brewed, barrel rested deliciousness of this Mr Black expression and a fruity Mezcal to up the complexity and subvert the expectations of what a Chartreuse Swizzle and a coffee cocktail can achieve. It took the rest of my bottle of Green Chartreuse to balance properly, but once I did I can confidently say this is one of my best creations yet. Cheers!", "undefined", "Cafè Verde Swizzle",
