fluorescent grey

2 oz Del Maguey Mezcal Vida (Peloton)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz Cynar

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe pre-rinsed with Pernod Absinthe (Kübler).When I posted about the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co.'s rum-based Dead Moon, someone on Instagram commented that it was like their Fluorescent Grey with mezcal and that both were created by bartender Colin Shearn. That pushed me to find the recipe via online flashcards and narrow down the date to an article about the menu launch in February 2013. Two Thursdays ago, the Fluorescent Grey that I assembled provided an anise, vegetal, and smoke aroma. Next, caramel on the sip bloomed into vegetal, herbal, and smoke flavors on the swallow with an anise finish.
