3⁄4 oz Mezcal
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Absinthe (I utilized 20 drops St. George)
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions
Stir with ice, strain into a punch cup, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
Smoke and funk accented by chocolate, mint, and anise flavors.
History
I had recently tried the Dead Poet from Imbibe Magazine and kept thinking about the Poet's Dream. I honed in on Batavia Arrack for some reason that night; mezcal and Batavia Arrack have worked well in drinks like the Smoking Jet Pilot, Airbag, and Esmino's Escape, so things progressed in that route.
