Cape May Warbler

The sunny color of this avian-inspired cocktail comes from yellow chartreuse and bell pepper juice. Find smoked sea salt in specialty stores and online; locally, you can find a hickory-smoked variety at Spice Cellar on Carpenters Lane. 

How to make it

• 1.5oz Mezcal
• .75oz Yellow chartreuse
• .75oz lemon juice
• .75oz simple syrup
• 1.5oz yellow bell pepper juice
• Pinch of smoked sea salt

Shake all ingredients and serve in a double old fashioned. 

Bartender’s Tip
