Stalking Saguaros

1 oz Raicilla, Venenosa (Costa de Jalisco)
1 oz Mezcal, Vago (Elote)
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth, Dolin
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (Mieli Thun monofloral fir tree honey)
2 ds Herbal liqueur, Elixir Vegetal de la Grande Chartreuse
1 sli Orange (Wheel, flamed as garnish)
Instructions

Build in a mixing glass, stir until diluted, strain into a chilled stemmed glass, garnish with a flamed orange disk.

Notes

Honey syrup is normally 3:1 this one is 2:1.
This raicilla is super earthy and the elote adds a balancing smoothness and sweetness with smoke.
