Hidden World

Hidden World is a beautifully layered, tropical nightcap that perfectly balances the complex, earthy fruit of an artisanal single-village mezcal with the intense, bittersweet herbal notes of yellow Chartreuse. Shaken with sweet almond orgeat syrup, fresh lime juice, and a heavy dash of aromatic bitters, this vibrant orange-hued cocktail is strained into an Old-Fashioned glass over a large ice cube.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal

  • 1 oz. aquavit (D&C uses Krogstad)

  • ¾ oz. fresh lime juice

  • ½ oz. vanilla syrup

  • 2 tsp. mango puree

  • 1 tsp. ginger syrup

  • 1 dash saline solution (1:5)

Instructions:

  • Add all ingredients to an ice-filled shaker, then shake until combined. Strain the cocktail over one large ice cube in a double Old Fashioned glass. Garnish.
