Me, Myself and I

A beautifully floral and herbaceous equal-parts cocktail. It stirs together the roasted agave notes of mezcal with the bittersweet botanical depth of Amaro Montenegro and the bright, bergamot-orange lift of Italicus.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 30 ml Amaro (e.g. Montenegro)

• 30 ml Italicus liqueur

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill an OLD-FASHIONED GLASS.

• Prepare a garnish of an orange zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into an ice-filled glass. (Better over good cubed ice than block ice.)

• Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as a garnish.
