For my mezcal-wary spouse my formula - in ml : 30 tequila, 30 mezcal, 22 green chartreuse, 22 lime, 15 agave syrup, 5 pastis - it's now my go to ratio! Yellow chartreuse is wasted in cocktails - I love it straight - but it's wonderful floral/honey notes get completely lost in a drink like this - green's herbal notes vie w/ the smoke & anise wonderfully. Oh - and forget the oregano - not at all needed - and who has fresh oregano around???
Delicious combination of ingredients, but "sprigs" in the recipe is subjective. I've found success with 2-3, 2"-3" sprigs. If you have full, 5" sprigs full of leaves, even a single one would do not to overpower the other flavors. You can also easily use agave nectar instead of making the syrup, and substitute absinthe for pastis if thats what you have on hand. I've had success with the absinthe, which I think also helps round out the vegetal flavors of oregano better than pastis. Cheers!
Smelled and tasted like a cleaning agent—we couldn’t stand it. Did I overdo it while muddling the oregano? Perhaps I had too much oregano in the end? I made two at once (my first mistake- should have tested it) thus used 8 sprigs of oregano. The sprigs were 4-5 inches long.
