I didn't care for it, the vermouth and the mezcal don't play very well together in my opinion; leave an acrid flavor at the end.

  • A pleasant, more subtle Bloody Mary alternative. Might lessen or forego the pepper part of the garnish next time, as it dominated the nose a bit much. — ★★★★

  • a tad tart, maybe up the falernum or split with cinnamon syrup
  • Not bad, but a little sour. I used Flor de Cana 4 yr and pink grapefruit. Maybe a sweeter rum? White grapefruit would be even more acidic, so I dunno... I'll keep fiddling...
  • More three dimensional than the original. Great for brunches.

Ok, quick question - so you're chilling an OF, rinsing it, lightly muddling mint and sugar (a pinch, not a dash perhaps) in the bottom. Then you're stirring everything else and straining it over the mint/sugar? I'd imagine this will lead to undissolved sugar in the bottom of the glass. If so, can I clarify the instructions to reflect this? Thanks, Zachary

Had to try this just because of the name. I like it, though it seems like the Cynar gets lost. I gave it a 3, mainly because blackstrap always comes off a little odd to me.
