Curated this slightly - changed a "splash" of tonic to an ounce - it's just a lot easier to recreate that way. Also... is this your drink? If so, it should be listed as an original creation instead of unknown.  Thanks,  Zachary

Great refreshing drink. Americano vibes but with funk from the cynar. Cut the simple back to 1/4 and wouldn't have wanted it sweeter personally.

  • Ok - I did not have this particular Mezcal, so subbed a Del Maguey, which may have a pretty different flavor profile. Mezcal dominated, and I felt like the best flavors of the rum were lost.
