Under The Volcano
Recipe:
- 60ml anejo tequila
- 22,5ml lime juice
- 15ml Cynar
- 7.5ml Chartreuse Jaune
- 7.5ml agave syrup
- (I would recommend 1bsp dry curaçao)
Shake everything on ice until sufficiently chilled, strain into a prechilled cocktail glass.
A very nice, slightly chaotic tequila drink. A tad too tart and generally biting for me, a barspoon dry curaçao gave it the finishing touch in my opinion. You can of course also increase the syrup, but I think the dry orange liqueur often gives it that final finesse, especially with reposado and anejo tequila as a base.
The combination of artichoke and anejo, with the herbs on top, almost gives the impression of a rinse with mezcal. Notes of toasted oak, vegetable-herbal and citrus notes alternate, really interesting one.
