  • Simply put, a great cocktail. Used Ilegal mezcal (joven) and increased the Rittenhouse rye to 1.25 oz.. Lacking sufficient Averna, I used 0.25 oz Averna and 0.50 oz Meletti. Rate 5.0 easily
  • Well balanced, and not too sweet, even with the demerara syrup! — ★★★★★
  • Leave out the syrup.
  • 4.5
  • Sweet enough without the syrup.
  • Good. Might try first without the Demerara next time as it's quite sweet to my taste (but pretty balanced, so I might start without and add to taste.) Sweet + Mezcal + Campari is different and interesting.
  • nice boozy cocktail. I add a spray of Laphroaig 10yr.

It's not sweet, you could remove the barspoon of demerera I suppose.  I find it balanced, everything plays well together.  It's a popular cocktail at the bar for smokey, spirit forward types.

Skipped the syrup as suggested and the result is the kind of spicy, boozy drink I'm a sucker for.
