I listened to the comments and made it with lime, it was better, but still mediocre

Worked well with mezcal, just as written and now I'm smitten.

Personally I very much prefer this in the same style as a whiskey smash - which is to say, with double the agave syrup and half a lime, cut into quarters in the shaker. The tequila and mint honestly need the acidity to balance things out.

I think there's a mistake...It looks a bit weird this receipt without lime ti balance the cocktail like on other smashes. Probably it's a mistake, i Hope so!

Definitely an after dinner drink. It tastes super sweet actually, sort of like a 'meh' Reposado Julep. A bit strange, in spite of the modest agave syrup content.

One of the few cocktails I have not liked. Found it way too sweet and without flavour. Mint was lost and a waste of good tequila. Did add a splash of lime to lessen the sweetness, but still found it just "ok."
