Schwifty Swizzle

A complex, crushed-ice tropical drink that builds on the smoke of mezcal by adding Green Chartreuse, falernum, and pineapple juice. It’s a tiki-style cocktail that packs a potent, herbal punch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. mezcal (Seaworthy uses El Silencio)

  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice

  • ½ oz. falernum

  • ½ oz. Green Chartreuse

Instructions:

  • Build ingredients in a tall Collins glass. Add ice to fill halfway and swizzle. Top with crushed ice formed into a slightly domed top and add a couple dashes of Peychaud’s to float. Top with a big, bushy bouquet of mint.
