temporary memory loss

1 1/4 oz Del Maguey Minero Mezcal (Del Maguey Vida)
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Lillet Blanc
1/4 oz White Crème de Cacao (Giffard)
1/4 oz Averna

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with orange oil from a twist.Two Fridays ago, I continued on with my discoveries in the "Drinks of Drink" notebook with the Temporary Memory Loss. Since it called for Minero, it probably dated to sometime after Drink opened in 2008 but before Del Maguey launched the more price effective Vida in 2010. Once prepared, the Temporary Memory Loss donated an orange, smoke, and Green Chartreuse herbaceous aroma. Next, orchard fruit with a hint of caramel on the sip flowed into smoky vegetal, herbaceous, and chocolate flavors on the swallow. Overall, it came across like a darker, more vegetal, and more smoky Bijou.
