  • Complex, slightly smokey, subtle chocolate. A wonderful, rich, complex cocktail. Could easily take a big cube. — ☆☆☆☆
  • Very smoky; I used mole bitters which was probably a little much. — ☆☆☆☆
  • Smoky & yummy — ☆☆☆☆
  • Mezcal was slightly overpowering - reduce to 1 oz — ☆☆☆
  • Enjoyable but something of an acquired taste. Not for everyone. Pleasantly easy to make, and one big cube was not out of place. (N.B.: We stirred with crushed ice, not cubed.) — ☆☆☆☆
