Purgatorio

A mezcal-influenced riff on a Ted Kilgore's punchy Purgatory, named "as a nod to the divine Dante."

It’s a Chartreuse and Benedictine forward drink. I personally needed to tame them by adding a bit more whiskey and mezcal.
An appealing colour, nicely alcoholic but a tad disappointing

To spec, it’s fairly sweet and borders on cloying. I’d boost the mezcal up to .33 oz to make it a touch smokier and reduce the Benedictine to .33 oz to make it less treacly.

Adding just a hint of fire & brimstone in the form of 1 tsp mezcal is a nice riff on Kilgore's Purgatory. Thematically, it seems most appropriate to use the smoky Del Maguey Vida de Muertos.

I am sipping as I type.... It's a tad sweet for me but, having said that it tastes very "hot" and boozy. I do like it. I'm really getting into these "up" cocktails. Thanks for the recipe. I'm going mess with it a bit. The mezcal can overpower everything, though that may be the mezcal I used. Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it Calvin. But we know that you have a soft spot for Mezcal.
