History
Looking to make a Scotch cocktail and too lazy to fetch a bottle from the basement, Erik combined Smith & Cross with Mezcal.
From other users
- Robin like it only without the Mezcal
- Hogo of the S&C held in check--dominating flavor is the bitter raisiny PeM. Fans of same will like this sophisticated drink.

A great idea, but my bottle of Lagavulin's at a friend's place. I'll give that a try next time if I'm still Mezcal-less.
This is wrong one at least

This is wrong one at least two levels. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Lagavulin should be either in your cabinet or in your glass.
How right you are. To atone,

How right you are. To atone, I will down at least two Glencairn glasses when I get it back.

I just confirmed with Erik that this one should be Ashtray Heart and not Ash Tray Heart.

I played up the grapefruit by adding a drizzle of pink grapefruit oleo saccharum. Nice.
