The Last Worm

3⁄4 oz Mezcal, Banhez
3⁄4 oz Reposado Tequila
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Maraska
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Pineapple syrup
Instructions

Shake all ingredients together and strain over ice into a lowball glass rimmed with sal de gusano (worm salt). Garnish with a dried lime slice

History

Based on Peter Povlsen's "word from Jalisco" - I omitted the smoked salt from the drink and rimmed the glass with Sal de Gusano, also increased the pineapple syrup slightly

  • Tried going slight on the liqueur per comments. Pleased to find this was a nice feature of the tequila flavors (that is, not overrun by the sweet and fruity St. Germain flavors).

Ginger on the Side

1 oz Cognac
1 1⁄2 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
1⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
3 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Long shake, strain, coupe

Notes

Grand Marnier can be replaced with other orange liqueur but will be slightly less smooth

History

This is based on the very excellent Ginger Sidecar, but I found it a bit blunt and sweet. After many tweaks I feel like this version is a little more subtle and complex.
