A mezcal twist on the Last Word and Paper Plane lineage
A smoky, bittersweet equal-parts cocktail: the lovechild of a Last Word and a Paper Plane.
Ingredients
- 0.75 oz Mezcal
- 0.75 oz Yellow Chartreuse
- 0.75 oz Aperol
- 0.75 oz fresh Lime juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
