six figure

1 1/2 oz Mezcal (Banhez)
1 1/4 oz Blanc Vermouth (Dolin)
1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse
2 dash Orange Bitters (Regan's)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Wednesdays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and landed on the Six Figure by Dan Greenbaum at Manhattan's Attaboy in 2016 as a possible answer to my nightcap dilemma. The combination reminded me of Sother Teague's Disco Ball minus the Green Chartreuse aspect and Alex Day's Alto California with tequila and a touch of cinnamon instead of the mezcal. In the glass, the Six Figure presented a lemon, vegetal, and smoke bouquet to the nose. Next, white grape and a hint of honey on the sip set up smoky agave, herbal, and orange flavors on the swallow.
