ABOUT
This refreshing cocktail was created in 2010 by Alex Day for Death & Company. It is a twist on another cocktail he made, the Smoke and Mirrors, which is the same recipe except two dashes absinthe are used instead of Chartreuse. The Chartreuse gives this one a nice savory profile. Cheers y’all!
