  • 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).

1⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄4 oz Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
3 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters

Notes

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

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.

  • This riff on the Aviation omits the Creme de Violette entirely and plays around fruit and flowery flavors such as blueberries, balsamic vinegar, strawberry and lavender instead. — ★★★★★

Vaquero

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1⁄2 oz Suze (Or other gentian liqueur)
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

For a less sweet drink, decrease the Benedictine to 1/4 oz or perhaps decrease both liqueurs to 3/8 oz. And increase the mezcal to 3/4 oz.

History

In thinking about gentian cocktails that I had recently made at Drink, I noted that gentian liqueur pairs well both with mezcal and with Benedictine. The 3:1 rye whiskey to mezcal base spirit is one that I have grown to appreciate through the years especially in Death & Co. recipes. Assembling all the components, I dubbed this one the Vaquero meaning cowboy. Folks looking for drier drinks should see the note.
