  • Made two versions to compare: as written, and as suggested in the comment by applejack. My drinking companion and I both far preferred applejack’s version.

Comments

I believe this should be attributed to Tad Carducci & Paul Tanguay (aka "The Tippling Bros."), who developed the initial cocktail programs for the Mercadito Group.  It's listed in their book "A Lime and a Shaker", Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015, p.196.  Recipe there is listed as 1 oz blanco tequila, 3/4 oz mezcal, 1-1/2 oz apple cider, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1/4 oz maple syrup & 3 oz ginger beer.
