Leather Man

1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄2 oz CioCiaro
1⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Cinzano
Instructions

Stir and strain over one big rock. Garnish with Orange zest.

Notes

I have used the exact recipe as well as swapping out the Mezcal, amaro and sweet vermouth for other brands, and the formula worked very well on all counts.

Comments

A very nice mezcal cocktail. The moderate ancho heat blends harmoniously into the mezcal, mellowing the earthy/smokiness of the latter. The CioCiaro blends smoothly while broadening the flavor profile. The volume is to the small side, increasing to 1.5: 3/4: 3/4: 3/8 would make for a standard fill.
