Wonderful. This seems like a cocktail for those who are still unsure about mezcal: the citrus and "sour" approach mellows the spirit and allows you to enjoy the smokiness without being overwhelmed.

Anyone else love it as is, but considerably more with a muddled jalapeno? 2-3 full droppers of Bittermans Hellfire shrub would be great in this.

Our favourite Stone Sour by a country mile. Sometimes, as keen gardeners, we add just a couple of drops of celery bitters for extra 'earthiness'.

This one needed time - first impressions were not sure - I like my sours and this wasn't a sour as I expected. However, it did grow on me. The orange subdued the Mezcal to a certain extent and then, to my tastes, seemed to give it a slightly spicy back taste.
Needs a second try
