Rye whiskey and mezcal in equal parts, stirred with Bénédictine and Angostura, give a smoky, herbal and spicy drink in a rocks glass. By Distinguished Spirits, 2014.

In 2014 Greenbar Collective in Los Angeles set out to make a drink that stands for the city the way the Manhattan stands for New York, and the result was the Southland, built on rye whiskey, smoky mezcal and Benedictine. The recipe only came together once Michael Crane's chicory and vanilla bitters were added, which brought out the complexity of the Benedictine.
