3⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Notes

While the other two combinations (rye/aquavit, Cynar/Chartreuse) were what inspired this drink, it was the Chartreuse-aquavit pairing that had a beautiful synergy here.

History

I was inspired by the rye-aquavit combination found in a few drinks that I have had and decided to mash it up with the Cynar, Chartreuse, and mole bitters trio from my Up Jumped the Devil (which I believe was inspired by The Drink of Laughter and Forgetting). For a name, I dubbed this one Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck after the title of Charles Bukowski's 1972 book of poetry.
