Another amazing creation that dcame out of Death & Co. NYC, Joaquín Simó created this in 2011. Lemon adds tartness, St Germain sweetness and of course Green Chartreuse bring all that herbal complexity as well as a fair amount of proof to the drink. And it remains well-balanced despite the strong smoke mezcal brings to the party.
