  • I only had Crema de Mezcal so I used that, but it was still really good. I love the form factor of the giant cube with this drink.
  • We both like this, but K prefers with an equal-split in base (3/4 oz ea gin+mezcal). — ★★★★
  • Responsible use of mezcal and clever construction. — ★★★
  • Subbed Becharovka for cinnamon syrup. One or two too many things going on in this, to my taste.
  • Made with 2:1 turbinado syrup. This is really really good. Luxardo and Mezcal work well together, though I might lower the amount of Luxardo to a heavy 1/4 next time.

Comments

agreed on the luxardo, dialed it back a bit and subbed falernum for cinnamon syrup

Subbed Del Maguey Las Milpas for the Hendricks & Vida, worked out nice.
