History

Best made with smoky mezcal to intertwine with sloe gin's berry fruitiness, subtle herbal vanilla vermouth and delicate bitter chocolate.

In 2006, Robin Nie at Bar toast in Dali Old Town, China, created this cocktail. It features 30 ml Mezcal, 30 ml Sloe Gin, 10 ml Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Chocolate Bitters. It is garnished with expressed orange or grapefruit oils and a clean ice sphere. The drink is designed to highlight the contrast between smoke and tartness, using Sloe Gin's tannins against the earthy smoke of Mezcal for a balanced, sophisticated profile.
