Apart from the garnish and the order in which the ingredients are listed, how is this different from a Closing Argument? Precisely the same ingredients in the same volumes. And yet the Closing Argument receives a higher rating. Alchemy indeed. Or am I missing something?
This is delicious with Vicario Monk's Secret liqueur in place of Chartreuse verte. It adds a similar herbal complexity with a distinct, more assertive flavour profile, which would overpower the juniper in a Last Word, but plays nicely with the mezcal here, in my opinion.
Agreed. Just as the Picador is the same as the Margarita but in this case, I know the Picador came first. I don't know who created the Closing Argument or when. I've added a link between the two drinks under Variation above.
