Silver Monk

I know I say this about most cocktails, but this one is truly a keeper. Pedro and I agree that it's sort of a sophisticated take on the classic margarita.

We enjoyed this summery libation during out engagement weekend, and paired it with a middle eastern treat (see posted recipe for Lebanese keftas). 

This drink packs a punch! So enjoy at your own risk. Also, the Yellow Chartreuse is a lovely addition to our bar collection, but much more expensive than I had imagined ($55 dollars in Pa state liquor store). The drink definitely wouldn't be the same without the Chartreuse so I recommend you splurge or just come over to our house for happy hour.
