This had been on my to-try list for months, and I'm glad I finally did. A fruity-herbal sidecar of sorts. Great use for both Calvados and Strega, both of which I rarely reach for. I could see tinkering with the proportions a bit (Dan might think this is too sweet :) ), but the overall idea is a good one.

Rim the lip of a Pilsner glass by lubricating with a lime wedge and rolling in a plate of salt. Add 4 perfect cubes of ice to the glass. In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the simple syrup, lime, grapefruit, Crema de Mezcal, and sherry over ice, and shake vigorously. Strain into the rimmed and iced Pilsner glass. Top with club soda, and garnish with the lime wedge. Serve with a tall straw.

Lightly muddle mint in the syrup, fill glass with crushed ice, pour genever over the top, stir.
Apparently this was popular in the 19th century, though these days the mint julep is only done with bourbon.

If this looks sweet but good otherwise, you might try what I did tonight- 1 oz each pear eau de vie and gin (I used Clear Creek and Voyager), .25 each St. Germain and lemon juice, and a bar spoon Clear Creek pear liqueur. Next time, I'll probably take the St. Germain down to a bar spoon, but otherwise I prefer this version as it lets the pear flavor through without getting too cloying.
Muddle aromatics, add ice, Pimm's, ginger ale, and stir. Fernet Branca Float.
Instead of ginger ale, I tried this with 0.5oz canton and a small splash of soda. That is my favorite version so far, and about the only compelling Pimm's cocktail I've tried, but I'd like more ginger flavor. Might try muddling a little fresh ginger with the lemon and mint next time.
