  • Simply put, a great cocktail. Used Ilegal mezcal (joven) and increased the Rittenhouse rye to 1.25 oz.. Lacking sufficient Averna, I used 0.25 oz Averna and 0.50 oz Meletti. Rate 5.0 easily
  • Well balanced, and not too sweet, even with the demerara syrup! — ★★★★★
  • Leave out the syrup.
  • 4.5
  • Sweet enough without the syrup.
  • Good. Might try first without the Demerara next time as it's quite sweet to my taste (but pretty balanced, so I might start without and add to taste.) Sweet + Mezcal + Campari is different and interesting.
  • nice boozy cocktail. I add a spray of Laphroaig 10yr.

It's not sweet, you could remove the barspoon of demerera I suppose.  I find it balanced, everything plays well together.  It's a popular cocktail at the bar for smokey, spirit forward types.

Skipped the syrup as suggested and the result is the kind of spicy, boozy drink I'm a sucker for.

  • Made with honey instead of agave. That felt more coherent. Great drink.

  • Love it. It's almost yogurty.
  • Had this at Elske and *loved* it. Made it at home and it was less good but still excellent. Put 3 umeboshi into 4oz of simple. Would do more ume next time. Ume garnish is good.

mako commented on 12/11/2019:

I'm super excited about replicating this but I think I'm missing a volume for syrup in the umeboshi syrup. I'm assuming that don't want six umeboshi into ¾oz of syrup but maybe I'm being unimaginative.
