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.

I'm trying this tonight. But ... a 'dash' of sugar?
I guess I'll work it out!

Zachary Pearson commented on 12/05/2021:

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

  • Similar to Norma Jean (bitter herbs/lemon/sweet). I might slightly prefer the Gin/Cynar combo, but this is quite tasty as well.

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.
