  • ½ oz. / 15 ml. Licor 43

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ oz. / 7.5 ml. orgeat

  • 1 mint sprig to shake

  • ¼ oz. Green Chartreuse, to float

METHOD
add all ingredients to shaker tin / shake with small amount of ice until ice melts (“whip shake”) / strain into a glass / top with crushed or pebble ice / float Green Chartreuse / garnish with mint bouquet after slapping to express oils

ABOUT
This one was created by Jim Troutman in 2017. It’s a bold Mai Tai riff with a surprising bite. Don’t let the garnish fool you: this one is as intense as it is delicious. If you follow Jim’s lead, a little water over the leftover ice makes for the perfect encore. Cheers y’all!
