Le Saboteur

There is a perfect cocktail to toast the genius behind this double dose of devious delight.  It originates from the Michelin starred restaurant in Malmo Sweden named, appropriately enough, Bastard.  The home of head chef Andreas Dahlberg, Bastard has been described as “school room meets old fashioned butchers” and “hipster heaven” to name a few.  At the back bar, they mix up a perfect concoction of smoky mezcal, sweet vermouth, green Chartreuse and bitters which is known as “Le Saboteur”.  Next time you find yourself in Malmo, you may want to check it out, but you can start your own sabotage at home in the meantime with this “guess-cipe” from the cocktail traveling duo over at the Cocktail Detour blog, who have recreated the drink proportions.  The drink is impressive, boozy and well balanced.  It pairs well with these two puzzle boxes – but you might need one for each!  Cheers!

1 oz Mezcal (I used Soltado, a spicy infused tequila)

Few dashes Regans’ Orange Bitters to taste

Stir well to dilute with plenty of ice and strain into a favorite glass.  Garnish with a double dose of frustration and keep your wits about you.
