Mezcallion Wooden Nickel

2 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey (Vida)
1⁄4 oz Lavender syrup (Monin)
1⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 ds Orange bitters, Fee Brothers Orange (Gin Barrel Aged)
1 ds Chocolate bitters, Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate
Instructions

Stir and strain over a large ice ball in a double old fashioned glass. Garnish with an edible flower.

History

This is based on the Mezcallion Dolla$ cocktail from Atomic Kitchen in Las Vegas. On the menu it is listed as "Mezcal, Lavender, sugar, bitters." This started as an attempt to recreate (counterfeit) it at home, though it ended up a little different from the original. Hence the Mezcallion Wooden Nickel.

  • Try this tomorrow
  • Did a split with Rye & Bourbon and used Suze instead of Bonal.
  • Quite sweet with bitterness there to hold the sugar in check. A Cynar feature.
Similar cocktails

Tried with Rye and then Bourbon. Seemed better balanced with Bourbon.

The recipe in the Cure cocktail book includes grapefruit juice (equal parts, 3/4 oz of everything, Pikesville rye, still stirred oddly enough). Anyone know if that is an update to the recipe or if it was just left out of the source post?

I've curated this to restore the equal part of grapefruit juice to the recipe, as that seems to be authoritative. Thanks commenters for the notices!
The 3/4 oz. equal measure will result in a more standard volume, but I left it at 1 ounce because that looked fun in the video!

  • Balanced, fruity, tart, and excellent. Honestly though, I'm not sure this is really worth all the effort or the extensive ingredients list. "Overelaborated" as in the description.

  • DIdn't have BT bitters. Subbed Liquid Gold from Modern Bar Cart. Tasty.
Similar cocktails

Liked this one better with ¼ oz cinnamon syrup instead of the split sweetener. Didn't expect the 2 types of bitters to be necessary, but the cinnamon notes in the Bitter Truth make a noticeable difference and the Angostura brings it all together. The two citrus peels are a nice touch, but it's fine with just the orange.
