Story
As the mezcal portion of the conversation expanded, we explored how blanc vermouth could bridge smoke with fruit. This drink came from leaning into orchard flavors — pear, apple, spice — while keeping the structure stirred and spirit-forward rather than turning it into a sour.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with cubed ice.
- Stir until chilled and lightly diluted.
- Strain into a coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass.
- Garnish with an orange peel.
Notes
-
- Pear and apple variations were both discussed during development.
-
- Angostura and mole bitters were both suggested.
