Review

There are more mezcal riffs on the Last Word, but tequila also works well in this classic in place of gin.

The depth of tequila in here change the equation, and solve it so there is no mistery. Maybe tequila is not call to be this way. I can't use the ' Difford margarita bitters' since I live en Tlalmimilolpan and here they don't sell such delicacies, but I used Orange Angostura in order to imagine the riple sec at this party since already here the tequila, the lime, and the sweet. Cute but Margarita is more edgy, So its a little in the neighborhood of Meh.

Unremarkable. I could only recommend this to tequila lovers who don't appreciate the wonder of the classic Last Word. Fortunately I am not friends with these people.
