Two Wednesdays ago, I was flipping through Gary Regan's 101 Best New Cocktails 2012 and spotted the Last Caress from Dan Carlson of Saul in Brooklyn. The combination of rye and mezcal has worked well before in drinks like the Red Ant and the Racketeer, so I was willing to give this one a try.

Is this one for a gentler rye like Overholt or do you think it would work with something brasher like Rittenhouse?
The ingredients listed (save for my substitution in parenthesis) are the way it was listed. Presumably the way the bartender makes it at his bar (unless Regan adapted the recipe somehow).
Rittenhouse's punch and fire could make it a different drink. It could be just as enjoyable.

Dagreb, that kept going through my head. Luckily the Misfits version and not Metallica's cover (which was actually my first introduction to the song way back when).
