Devil's Kitchen

1 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄4 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1 twst Grapefruit peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Notes

I originally made this in an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube. While there was a nice progression of flavors over time, it started to die when diluted too much. When I mentioned this on Instagram, folks tried it up and replied that they enjoyed it served that way, so I am going with my hunch.

History

I recently looked over various recipes for ingredients that worked well with Ancho Reyes and decided to create a cocktail. Of the 10 Ancho Reyes drinks on the blog, 7 contain mezcal, 2 with Cynar, 2 with mole bitters, and 1 with banana liqueur; moreover, I figured that pineapple rum would bolster the tropical notes of the banana despite it not having previously been paired with Ancho Reyes in my tasting history. Finally, I dubbed this the Devil's Kitchen after a neighborhood described in the 1933 book The Barbary Coast as a rough one in San Francisco during the latter half of the 19th century.

Mercier prefers Heirloom génépy, and suggests yellow Chartreuse as a workable sub.
