Arinato

Mezcal drinks can be delicate, like this softly floral stirred cocktail from bartender Ivy Mix. Mezcal's fragrant, herbal side goes nicely with dry vermouth, yellow Chartreuse, and Lillet Blanc.

Ingredients:

  • 1½ oz. mezcal, such as Ilegal Mezcal Joven

  • ¾ oz. Lillet Blanc

  • ½ oz. Dolin Dry Vermouth

  • ¼ oz. Yellow Chartreuse

  • ½ tsp. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

  • 2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

  • Grapefruit twist for garnish

Instructions:

Add all the ingredients, except the grapefruit twist, to a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express the grapefruit twist over the drink and then rest the twist on the cube in the glass.
