Monk's Saddle
An earthy stirred tequila cocktail pairing Yellow Chartreuse and Cynar for a bitter-herbal slow sipper.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Añejo Tequila
- 1 oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 0.5 oz Cynar
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
Story
You asked specifically for spirit-forward tequila and Chartreuse cocktails, and this recipe answered with a bitter and earthy direction instead of citrus or smoke. Cynar and Yellow Chartreuse were chosen to soften the edges of añejo tequila while deepening the finish.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
- Stir until chilled.
- Strain over a large cube in a rocks glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
- This sits somewhere between an Old Fashioned and a Black Manhattan structurally.
