speaking in tongues

2 1/2 oz Blanco Tequila (1 1/4 oz Olmeca Altos)
1 oz Mezcal (1/2 oz Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Amaro Meletti (1/2 oz)
1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur (1/4 oz Galliano Ristretto)
2 dash Coffee Bitters (Bitter Cube Corazon)

Stir in a mixing glass and funnel into a flask (build in an old fashioned glass and give a quick stir). Note: this a room temperature drink.When I delved into Sarah Baird's Flask book the second time, I selected Speaking in Tongues by Chris Hannah at Jewel of the South in New Orleans that was different from the mezcal-strawberry Sour of the same name. Chris has shared a few of his flask recipes before like the Rebennack and Night Tripper, so I was game to give this one a go especially since it reminded me of Aces & Eights on paper. Here, things kicked off with smoke, caramel, floral, and roast aromas. Next, the caramel and roast notes continued on into the sip, and the swallow followed with smoky agave, floral, coffee, and herbal flavors.
