  • Use 1/2-2/3 specified agave
  • I halved the agave and with that it was just about perfect. I think with the full half oz it would have been too sweet.
  • Cynar works great in this! — ★★★★★

Comments

Following the comments, I think 1/4 oz agave was not quite enough although still a good drink, but 1/3 oz agave made it very accessible. A great mezcal forward drink.
