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.
