Review

Far from being a wreck, this boat is worthy of re-floating, indeed cruising upon. Its displacement is perfectly balanced and it handles well. However, beware, it may sink you!

Thank you , very very nice drink. Into the favourites you pop

Such a wonderfully sumptuous and yet simple cocktail. As a Cognac variant, we have settled on a base spirit split of 30ml Cognac and 15ml Mezcal (we think that they are a match made in heaven).

Mayday, mayday, mayday!!! We need more time to drink another! Left us three sheets to the wind⚓!

I like that it has a unique tasting profile, def mezcal forward, 8.2/10 for me.

The comments here are interesting. I substituted the Punt e Mes with Cocchi Torino and little helpings of Ango and Campari and it was surprisingly balanced! Though I will say that the cherry liqueur got a little lost.

Inveterate fiddlers that we are, we decided to try a Cognac version of this...simply substituting the 45ml of Mezcal for the same volume of Cognac. But retaining 5ml of Mezcal. We loved it. Next time we might go more on the Mezcal, out of curiosity. The original version of the drink is brilliant, of course.

Perfectly matched flavours. A good way into Mezcal.

Smoked cherry goodness. What’s not to like? More Phil ward magic. I’d be tempted to try with Cocchi vermouth amaro subbed for the punt e mes next time.

I did. It was stunningly good. My mixologist partner in crime said the same.

I also opted for cocchi. Sublime and with a really varied flavour profile.

Had to extemporise so swapped Cherry Herring with De Kyper and I only had Zignum Mezcal (not very Smokey). However a great cocktail, less sweet than others have noted and of course less smoke. Terrific balance

Beautifully balanced. We serve this in a Rocks glass with a chunk of ice. Summer evenings can be warm where we are.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
