A thirst-quenching summertime punch from NYC’s Shannon Tebay Sidle that brings some layered flavors 🍉🌶 The refreshing, cooling watermelon and lime juice combination are taken in interesting directions with the smoke and subtle tropical fruit notes in the mezcal, a bit of herbal green chartreuse and the clean, vegetal green chiles (jalapeño, poblano, serrano) in the vodka. Great for a poolside afternoon or an outdoor barbecue (also scales up nicely for a batched punch) 1.5 oz Mezcal (Espadin variety) .5 oz Green Chile Vodka (St George makes an excellent version or you can make your own infusion; hit me up if you want a recipe) .25 oz Green Chartreuse (herbal, yet boozy spirit from France) .5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1) 1.5 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice .75 oz Fresh Lime Juice Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a few ice cubes. No garnish
