I bought a bottle of creme de menthe almost three years ago and have barely used a bit of it. In most drinks it’s such an overpowering flavor and I never want it to ruin a perfectly good cocktail. When I saw the Charo’s Kick recipe in @imbibe with the fresh orgeat AND mezcal, it sounded so crazy that I had to try it. Turns out the flavors really harmonize and make one crazy (delicious) cocktail that made me ? ? ?.
