Faceless Man
Stir with ice. Strain into rocks glass over ice. Float Mezcal.
This is an original drink inspired by Game of Thrones. This liquid offering is named after the team of assassins called Faceless Men, who worship the Many-Faced God (aka the God of Death).
Aesthetically, the drink is hidden in plain sight and cannot be visually identified, much like the drink's namesake. It blends into its surroundings. The clear liquid doesn't give away what's in the glass. But the cocktail is complex, yet balanced, fruity, yet smokey and a smooth sipper.
It's important that all the components be clear. The Singani and White Vermouth should be no problem, but the Orange Liqueur and Mezcal sometimes come in other colors. For the Orange Liqueur, Cointreau is ideal, but if you have Combier or Luxardo Triplum or another clear Orange Liqueur, that will work.
Because it's so smooth, light and complex, The Faceless Man is a great companion to Game of Thrones. Be sure to mix one up before you sit down to watch the show...or curl up with the book. Cheers!
Using Creme of Coconut (1:1 sugar to coconut milk), this was a delicious drink. Well balanced with some funk from the dark rum and orgeat, but without the heavy marzipan some orgeat drinks can get. A great staple.
Super funky drink, but all comes together well. Great for something different.
Subbed the Uigeadail with Wee Beastie. Still had to double the Frangelico to be recognizable.
The liqueur they're using here is 60 proof. Some people might want to drop the simple. Thanks, Zachary
I find lemon juice overpowers more subtle flavors, so I dial it back to 1/2 ounce here. Tasty!
