devil you know

1 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Amaro Nonino
3/4 oz Dolin Blanc Vermouth
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Egg White (1 full Egg White)

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lime twist (omit twist).
Two Mondays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcards from Teardrop Lounge in Portland, and I spotted the Devil You Know that seemed like a more complex St. Germain. I was able to find a mention of the drink in a 2011 article in Portland Food & Drink magazine, and the idea of Green Chartreuse and Amaro Nonino in a Sour reminded me of Sahil Mehta's Double Bubble Trouble and the two in a stirred drink in Al Sotack's Harry Rag. Once prepared, the Devil You Know came through with a lime and herbaceous bouquet. Next, a creamy lime and caramel sip transformed into herbaceous, caramel, and orange flavors on the swallow.
