This vibrant cocktail is a true modern classic, often described by its creator, Joaquín Simó, as a clever mix of the smoky mountains of Mexico and the herbal peaks of the Alps. It perfectly balances the earthy smoke of mezcal with the rare, honeyed complexity of authentic Yellow Chartreuse and a bright splash of lime. While it comes in a convenient small format, this drink maintains a bar-strength punch that feels sophisticated and adventurous. It is a fantastic choice for those who want a world-class cocktail experience at home without needing to hunt down rare or expensive ingredients.
