Yellowjacket

A smoky, agave-based riff on the classic gin-based "Bee's Knees" cocktail. This drink allows the Mezcal to shine by balancing it purely with fresh lemon juice and rich honey syrup.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. mezcal

• 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice

• 1/4 oz. yellow Chartreuse

• 1/4 oz. honey syrup

• 3 dashes orange bitters

Instructions:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe. Mist with lemon oil and garnish.
