Fool that I am I failed to read the comments and made the same mistake of over-sweetening with 2 to 1. However we still enjoyed it and I shall dial down a little next time.

Any suggestions on how much sugar syrup you should use that would be a close substitute? I cannot get access to sugar cane juice, I used 10ml of 2:1 but I feel it was a bit too much.

Perhaps try 7.5 to 10ml.

I don’t think cane syrup requires you to process sugarcane, it means syrup made from unbleached cane sugar which you can buy at a grocery store. Since it doesn’t specify rich syrup, I would use a 1:1 ratio. This might account for the extra sweetness you experienced

Very acceptable long Mezcal drink. Background Mezcal smoke with a slight zing of citrus and the coconut water lengthens the drink but add a bit of body. The Banana disappears.

Did it with Mezcal Union Uno and it was my perfect type of balance : sweet but balanced (especially with a salt rimmed glass), a tad smoky, garnished with a very ripe banana. Put it in my coktails book for future use for sure.
