Dan commented on 9/22/2016:

Excellent. I used lemon because orange scares me (uh, and I didn't have one on hand). I'd try the orange next time.

Update: Made again with orange juice and peel. Much better. I also sub'd a very strong and bitter version of Amer Boudreau for the CioCiaro. Excellent.

Not bad. I like it better than a Blood and Sand but I'm generally not a fan of scotch cocktails. Lemon is hard to get right. Also maybe a sweeter vermouth like di torino.

Very good. I used Johnnie Walker Black w/VIDA mezcal rinse--these had some synergy with a little peat, and a little earthy mezcal at the sip creating a broader and nuanced flavor. The small amount of lemon juice (1/6 oz = 1 barspoon = 1 teaspoon) brightens the berry/grape of the vermouth and the cherry without getting in the way or dominating. The composition was deeply and pleasantly fruity with a clean finish.
