Forest Murmurs

2 oz Blanco tequila
1 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1 bsp Blue Curaçao
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Agave syrup
1 spg Rosemary (briefly char rosemary sprig over gas flame)
2 dr Salt Solution
2 dr Eau de vie of Douglas Fir
Instructions

Rim a chilled old fashioned glass with lemon and dip into lemon/rosemary salt.
Place prepared glass over the charred rosemary sprig in order to trap the fragrant smoke in the glass.
Mix all ingredients over ice and strain into prepared glass.
Garnish with the charred rosemary sprig while still smoking.

Notes

The smokiness of the tequila and mezcal blends well with the other herbal and flowery notes provided by the Chartreuse and St. Germain, while the lemon juice and agave lend a subtle sweet and sour note. The charred rosemary and Eau de Vie of Douglas Fir round everything out with a sharp bracing astringency.

Tasty! Subbed out Douglas fir eau de vie with Greek mastika spirit 

RoofWood commented on 9/26/2023:

Skipped agave syrup, subbed mossy Oaxacan forest mist spray (from Shaker and Sppon) for Douglas fir eat de vie, and subbed dry curaçao for the blue stuff. The Del Maguey seemed to flatten it our a bit so I added a squeeze of lime which worked for me.
