the noble experiment

1 1/2 oz Casa Noble Tequila (Cimarron Blanco)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup
1/2 oz Orgeat
2 dash Peychaud's Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Sundays ago, I spotted an interesting looking tequila drink called the Noble Experiment in a set of online recipe flashcards for Roxanne's in Long Beach, California. While the recipe set was from 2015, it was older than that for I soon found a 2012 Yelp drink photo; moreover, perhaps their choice of tequila brands spurred on the reference to Prohibition in the name. The ginger-orgeat combination was one that I last saw a few weeks ago with the Set Sail, but that duo has only accented sugar cane spirits, gin, and amari but never agave distillates from what I have written about on the blog. In the glass, the Noble Experiment proposed a lemon, vegetal agave, and ginger bouquet for the nose. Next, a creamy lemon sip advanced into tequila, almond, and ginger flavors on the swallow with a cherry and anise finish.
