This herbal and smokey riff on a margarita is a perfect springtime sipper, but your largest hurdle to making this might be finding Green Chartreuse. In the last few years, the Carthusian monks that make the liqueur have slowed production. Although their recipe is closely guarded, there are a number of close substitutes now readily available. My preferred is Faccia Bruto Centerbe but keep an eye out for Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur as well.
Ingredients
- 2 ounce mezcal
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
