Ed from eGullet holds a monthly cocktail contest called Mixology Monday. To participate, I’m supposed to post a link to this page on Wordsmithing Pantagruel.
The theme of this round is “green” and dictates the use of any green-colored ingredient. I’ve entered my Green Like a Fox cocktail, which is as such:
Green Like a Fox ✯✯✯✯1/2
—————-
3/4 oz silver tequila
3/4 oz pisco
1/2 oz green Chartreuse
1/4 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/3 oz agave nectar
Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
The Chartreuse gives the drink a delicate, earthy-green tint. It’s a tart and sweet pleasure chock-full of herbal goodness! I created the drink for a friend and backer of my book project. One of the rewards offered in my fundraising campaign was a signature cocktail, custom crafted by me. One Mr. Fox took advantage of the offer and will now forever be associated with Chartreuse and envy. And craziness.
Wow, that looks freaking magically delicious.
