Angelique the Devilish

Angelique the Devilish

  • 1.5 oz. Silver Tequila
  • 0.5 oz. Mezcal
  • 0.5 oz. Creme de Cassis
  • 0.5 oz. lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz. agave nectar
  • 0.25 oz. Yellow Chartreuse

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with three drops of rose water.

Sweet and fruity with some underlying kick. The mezcal provides that smoky kick to the tequila layered with blackcurrant liqueur, agave nectar and lemon juice, with the chartreuse rounding it out. The rose water is a floral mask hiding the danger underneath (and a nod to the rose I slap in her mouth during The Best of Times).

Drink up! The best of times is now! Is now! Is now is now is now (smack)!

  • 1.5 oz. London Dry Gin
  • 1.0 oz. pink grapefruit juice
  • 0.5 oz. Cointreau
  • 0.25 oz. Green Chartreuse
  • 0.25 oz. lemon juice

Shake with ice and strain into coupe. Spritz Absinthe over glass.

Fruity with triple sec was my instruction here. I turned to pink grapefruit to offer something a little different from your standard citrus. It became a sort of fruitier, drier Last Word variation, sprayed with a bit absinthe for Miss Mister herself.
