dogs playing poker

2 oz Del Maguey Vida Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1/2 oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse

Stir with ice, strain into rocks glass, and garnish with a flamed lemon twist (unflamed). Note: the creator prefers it served down (without ice) but I was led astray by two sources that it was served over a large ice cube.Two Fridays ago, I returned to the online flashcard set for Analogue bar in Manhattan and decided upon Dogs Playing Poker for both the name and ingredients. While that flashcard had it served down, both a recipe on Instagram and a photo of the drink on TripAdvisor had it served over ice. The Instagram recipe had it as 1 1/2 oz mezcal, 3/4 oz Montenegro, 1/2 oz Dry Curaçao, 1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse; while this added up to a satisfying 3 oz, the other recipe which was posted by a former Analogue bartender seemed drier and better matched to my palate. Drink creator Carter Wilsford chimed in on my Instagram post and declared, "Technically, I've always served this down (like a Sazerac) not over ice. The aromatics in a glass without ice (plus flamed lemon) dramatically change the drink." Albeit served improperly with ice instead of down, Dogs Playing Poker anted up with lemon and smoke aromas. Next, orange and melon notes on the sip gambled with smoke, vegetal, cantaloupe, and pineapple flavors on the swallow.
