Created by our dear reader, Kyle Probst, in circa 2012 at the 4 Olives Restaurant and Wine Bar in Manhattan, KS. It is a margarita variant that uses a Caribbean orange liqueur to add additional depth, green chartreuse that plays well with the earthy notes of tequila and mezcal along with grapefruit and lime. The drink was a crowd favorite and featured on the cocktail list until 4 Olives closed in 2018.
