Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Mezcal — Can split with blanco tequila
  • 1 oz Blanc vermouth
  • 0.25 oz Yellow Chartreuse — Optional
  • 1 dash Saline solution

Story

Near the end of the mezcal discussion, the conversation circled back toward martini-style drinks. This cocktail became the cleanest expression of that idea: smoky agave, soft blanc vermouth texture, and just enough saline and Chartreuse to push it into savory territory.

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with cubed ice.
  2. Stir until cold and silky.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

    • No garnish was specified during development.
    • Blanco tequila and Yellow Chartreuse were both presented as optional modifiers rather than fixed requirements.
