  • Swap: grapefruit bitters and orange peel
  • Been exploring the smokey/bitter world, and the backdrop St Germain was suprisingly good.
  • substituted Averna for Suze added extra St. Germain- initially overwhelmed by mezcal; used lemon juice and peel (no grapefruit)
  • Complex, smoky, herbal/bitter. Very very very good drink. Use the Chichicapa!
  • Just a perfect balance of strong ingredients. Chichicapa is an incredible Mezcal. Bought it with this drink in mind, totally worth it. — ★★★★★

  • I didn't care for this. It's drinkable but I would not make this again. If I were looking for an after-dinner espresso based cocktail I would go for something like an espresso martini.
