Smoky mezcal meets the herbal intensity of green Chartreuse in this brooding sipper, with orgeat's almond sweetness working to bridge two assertive spirits. The lavender bitters add a floral undercurrent that softens the edges without dulling the complexity. It's a drink that refuses to settle into any single category—earthy, sweet, bitter, and aromatic all at once.
