History
Recently, my chef wanted a drink with Strega in it, so I made him Chris Hannah's Night Tripper. That inspired me to riff on the drink when I got home, and I swapped out the Bourbon and Averna for mezcal and Cynar while keeping the Strega and Peychaud's Bitters in place. Besides knowing that Cynar works well with mezcal, I recalled that I had two drinks, Alex Day's La Bateleur and Mike Steele's The Truth that elegantly paired Cynar and Strega. For a name, I kept Chris' Dr. John song title concept and dubbed this one the Right Place Wrong Time.
