Perfect for sipping slowly on a night when you're wrestling with decisions past and the pursuit of redemption. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal (preferably one with a robust, smoky profile) - 1 oz Amaro (a bitter herbal liqueur, such as Amaro Nonino for its balanced bitterness) - 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup - 2 dashes Angostura Bitters - A pinch of Activated Charcoal Powder (for a dark, enigmatic hue) - Garnish: Orange Peel - Garnish: Brandied Cherry Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine mezcal, amaro, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and activated charcoal powder. 2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled old-fashioned glass filled with a large cube of ice. 4. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters on top. 5. Express the orange peel over the drink to release the oils and then drop it into the glass along with a brandied cherry for garnish. 6. Serve immediately, and sip slowly while pondering life's bittersweet moments. Type of Glass: Old-Fashioned Glass (also known as a rocks glass)
