  • Nice but a bit sweeter than I anticipated. Next time I'll add a bit more tequila :)
  • Tried with Cobardes mezcal and May have benefited from something more smoky
  • Mezcal, green chartreuse, and Cardamom did not work at all for me. Only bitter is recognizable from Averna - other flavors are lost beneath the high decibel stuff.
  • Prefer with 3 dashes bitters (at least with Scrappy's cardamom) -- 4.5 stars with that modification.
  • Bitter & sweet, w/ strong anise palate. Maybe would keep the lemon twist.

Not quite balanced... Aroma is nice. Averna / cardamon / chartreuse bitterness is very heavy together and kind of muddy, seems like it needs something to brighten it.
