This equal-parts cocktail swaps in a smoky mezcal for the gin, playing it off herbal, bittersweet gentian liqueur. Try different gentian liqueurs — with bright yellow Suze, the cocktail leans more earthy and grassy, emphasizing those notes in the mezcal. With other gentian liqueurs such as Salers, Don Ciccio’s Cinque or Luxardo Bitter Bianco, you’ll get different results, based on their varying botanicals.
