love & murder

1 oz Campari (3/4 oz)
1 oz Green Chartreuse (3/4 oz)
1 oz Lime Juice (3/4 oz)
3/4 oz Simple Syrup (1/2 oz)
4 drop Saline (1 pinch Salt)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Two Mondays ago, I decided to make an interesting recipe that I had spotted on Instagram via @mtcocktails' account called the Love & Murder. I tracked the drink down to a Liquor.com article which attributed it to Nicholas Bennett at Porchlight in New York City. The Love & Murder is a Campari-Chartreuse Daiquiri of sorts akin to the Cynar-Chartreuse one, The Drink of Laughter & Forgetting, and Bennett named it after a Broadway play, "The Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder." In the glass, it proffered an herbal aspect from the Chartreuse and an orange one from the Campari to the nose. Next, the lime-driven sip led into herbal notes finishing with bitter orange flavors on the swallow.
