History

Mezcal whispers intertwine with grassy tequila, deep wine-like vermouth, and subtle anise and liquorice.

This cocktail is a tequila-based variation of the classic gin-based Obituary cocktail, which is a Dry Martini with dashes of absinthe. It incorporates elements from the Tequila Martini and the Oaxaca Old Fashioned. Adding a couple of drops of saline solution can significantly round out and mellow this cocktail.
