Bonpland

"Michael Jordan's Steakhouse"

ABOUT
_____

This Sazerac variation from Jules Elkovich, a sommelier at Michael
Jordan's Steak House at Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort in Uncasville,
Conn., is an homage to Aime Bonpland, the French botanist who explored
Mexico between 1799 and 1805 with Alexander von Humboldt and who
created the country's first maps. "Reposado tequila has the perfect
marriage of spice, baking spice, green grass and fresh herbaceous
notes that play so well with Green Chartreuse," she says. "And the
name seemed an appropriate hat tip to the marriage of Mexican and
French influences."

This recipe originally appeared as part of "What the #$@! Do I Do with
This? Green Chartreuse: What It Is and How to Use It."
