La Joya

A smoky and complex riff on the classic Bijou cocktail. This spirit-forward drink swaps gin for mezcal and layers it with sweet vermouth and Green Chartreuse, producing an intensely herbal, honeyed, and earthy profile.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz. mezcal

  • 3/4 oz. green Chartreuse

  • 3/4 oz. PX sherry

  • 6 dashes Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit Bitters

Instructions:

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain into a chilled glass.
