Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Two Thursdays ago, I was perusing the Kindred Cocktails database when I spotted the Revenge by cocktail enthusiast William Fortenberry in 2019. Its combination of Yellow Chartreuse and gentian liqueur was one that I had enjoyed before in the Lion's Tooth, You Is or You Ain't, and Cesare, so I was curious to try this one. Here, the Revenege began with a smoke, vegetal, and herbal aroma. Next, lime and honey notes on the sip lashed out at smoky agave and herbal flavors on the swallow with a lime and smoke finish.
