  • 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! — ★★★★★

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.

3 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)

Combine over ice, stir, strain into coupe glass. Express orange peel into drink and use as garnish. I've riffed it using Rye or Bourbon, and I've used grapefruit peel instead of orange as well. All good.

  • Made with Elijah Craig and Sercial. Light and a bit disappointingly thin on the sip, but satisfying finish. I wonder if a barspoon of simple would be in order.
