Comments

This is an amazing cocktail. I'd been trying many different recipes with mezcal & passion fruit, but the crème de cacao balances it in a way that no other variation I've tried manages. I did not have Scrappy's firewater, so I substituted Bitter End mole bitters, which are quite spicy. I toasted to the memory of my pittie mix Loki and to Jack ❤️
