Cheryl of Chez Chez in Penang makes her favorite drink: the Mezcal Last Word. With Chartreuse in short supply, she improvises the recipe by using Strega (with some balancing) as the modifier instead of Green Chartreuse.


Ingredients:

30ml Mezcal

20ml Cherry liqueur

15ml Lime juice

10ml Strega

10ml Pernod

1 dash Angostura bitters


Method:

Shake all ingredients in cocktail shaker, then double strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a wheel of lime.
