Servings 1

Ingredients

2 oz Reposado tequila
0.25 oz Bénédictine
0.25 oz Faccia Brutto Centerbe
1 dash Orange bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters

Story

The Green Widow was the first Centerbe pivot after Strega proved too dominant in the Saffron Widow — After Dark. Reposado remains firmly in front, Bénédictine contributes honeyed warmth, and a restrained Centerbe measure adds a bitter-green, cooling finish.

Method

Chill a Nick & Nora glass.
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
Stir for 20–25 seconds.
Strain into the chilled glass.
Express a grapefruit peel over the surface; use orange if grapefruit is unavailable.

Notes

Taste the Centerbe first; if it is especially minty or menthol-forward, begin with a barspoon rather than 0.25 oz.
Centerbe is not yet a canonical spirit taxonomy value, so chartreuse is used as the closest herbal-liqueur category.
