Mezcal is the characterful backbone to this aperitivo with rich herbal notes balanced by delicate bitterness and citrus freshness.

Great suggestion. I've added links to both cocktails.

Prefer the capri sour to be honest, which is similar but perhaps grapefruitier

A perfectly balanced cocktail that we think deserves to be served in a Coupe glass...wherein it is much prettier and immune from the ravages of dilution from unnecessary ice.

Try this with a light Mezcal (in terms of smokeness) and it can be interesting riff on the Paper Plane. Still don't know if I prefer this one over the original. Need to try this again.

This is a fantastic cocktail on par with The Last Word and it's many riffs and a great alternative to a Paper Plane albeit quite different.
