  • This is pretty good. I played with it a little and think it comes out better with one big cube and a few red chili flakes to add a little heat.

Knob Creek often overwhelms cocktails, but here it's perfect.

Quite good. I used Del Maguey Vida for the Mezcal. There is a lot of complex flavor here beyond the more noticeable earthy mezcal that is more noticeable. The Punt e Mes provides some welcome bitterness to the finish. The ratios seem right.
