Pearl of Puebla

With the help of barman Euclides López, I fashioned a Mexican rendition of Audrey Saunders's French Pearl using two staples of Puebla cuisine: mezcal and fresh oregano.

Ingredients

1 drink

2 oz. Sombra Mezcal
.75 oz. Yellow Chartreuse
.75 oz. Lime Juice
4 sprigs Fresh Oregano
1 barspoon Ricard Pastis
1 barspoon Agave Nectar

  1. Step 1

    Muddle the oregano and agave nectar

    Step 2

    Add everything else, then shake with ice and fine-strain into a chilled coupe

    Step 3

    No garnish
