three ways out

1 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Blanc Vermouth (Dolin)
1 oz Amaro Nonino

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Mondays ago, I ventured back to the online recipe flashcards for the menu-less speakeasy, Idlewild in Charlotte, North Carolina. There, I was lured in by the Three Ways Out that reminded me of a blanc vermouth for Lustau East India Solera Sherry and mole bitters version of the Hawthorne's Under the Volcano. Once prepared, the Three Ways Out greeted the senses with orange, vegetal, and smoky aromas. Next, caramel and white grape on the sip bloomed into vegetal, orange, and smoky flavors on the swallow.
