  • Equally good with Rittenhouse or Wild Turkey 101
  • Made with Bulleit 95 and Cointreau.
  • Made this with 80° rye and it was nice--can see how overproof whiskey would be even better.

  • 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! — ★★★★★

shadowkirby commented on 10/05/2024:

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.
