From @the_cocktail_bible Rob loves a Grasshopper, and I finally made him one. But probably not quite what he expected, as I found a spec that used Mezcal as the base. That should up the anti, I reckon!I do love Mezcal, and I really like the Potosi, for its clean flavour. It’s not as smoky as…

@speakeasieruk -David Jordan Melia As you may have realised, I’m a fan of David, and his book, Bohemian Mixology. It showcases the not usual forward spirits, which I love.

Smokescreen
Alex Day-Cocktail CodexDeath & Co. As their spiel goes, it gets its herbaceousness from the Green Chartreuse, giving it a grassy tarragon-like flavour- which draws out the Scotch’s vegetal side.I love Scotch and I love tarragon, so what could be better. I should have made tarragon chicken for dinner as a side for this drink….
