Disco Ball – A Chartreuse and Mezcal Shot

This Chartreuse recipe by Ford Roberts is a surprisingly delicious combination. You’ll definitely want to stir this one well to chill and dilute the shot, otherwise it’ll come off very syrupy with all the Chartreuse. That said, it’s still on the sweeter side. I have heard of it served as a cocktail, but I think you’d need to tweak the ratios to make it more balanced if you plan on sipping it.

I’d advise reserving this one for special occasions or home consumption, as it’s not unusual for a single shot of Chartreuse (not to mention mezcal) to cost upwards of $20 at some cocktail bars.
