tongue twister

3/4 oz Del Maguey Mezcal Vida (Peloton de la Muerte)
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Falernum (Velvet)
3/4 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lime wheel (omit garnish).Two Thursdays ago, I was perusing the online recipe flashcards for Raised by Wolves in San Diego when I came across the Tongue Twister. I was able to confirm the drink by way of an Imbibe 2021 article that attributes the drink to Tony Roehr, and the combination reminded me of the Eulogy with its four equal parts structure and a Chartreuse paired with falernum. While the Eulogy has been Yellow Chartreuse or Strega, the combination here of Green Chartreuse and falernum is one that has worked well in a variety of recipes including the Nuclear Daiquiri and Chartreuse Swizzle. Once prepared, the Tongue Twister riddled the nose with lime, vegetal, and smoke aromas. Next, a lime-driven sip flowed into herbal, herbaceous, smokey, and clove flavors on the swallow.
