crocodile tears

1 oz Blanco Tequila (Avion)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Fidencio)
1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
1 oz Dolin Blanc Vermouth
1/4 oz Salers Gentian Liqueur (Suze)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist (orange).As I was reading my way through The Bartender's Manifesto by Toby Maloney and Emma Janzen two Sundays ago, I spotted the Crocodile Tears that reminded me of Sother Teague's Disco Ball. This recipe created at the Violet Hour in 2019 by Rubi Villagomez seemed like the perfect herbal number to wrap up the evening. In the glass, it rejoiced the nose with orange, herbal, and herbaceous aromas. Next, a white grape sip shed into smoky agave, genetian, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
