- Actually, 3.5 stars. Probably does need agave syrup instead of simple syrup. Even tempted to put an orange slice in it.

- I used maple syrup instead of agave I used 1 oz mescal and 1 oz anjejo

You definitely have to be a fan of mezcal and boozy drinks, but if you are, this drink is simple and sublime. The official recipe does indeed say Angostura but I'm sure Bittermens Mole would be great as well. The flamed orange twist probably isn't necessary but it does make for a fun gimmick and adds a bit more smokiness.
