I like it as a change of pace from the usual tequila and mezcal drinks, as well as different from the Paper Plane riffs for the Nonino. It is very well balanced with the agave and Nonino. I used Mijenta reposado tequila and Ilegal joven mezcal.

Very lovely drink. The aroma alone is fantastic. I’m new to tequila and have really appreciated this combo of Reposado and mezcal.

I love this! Spirit forward and absolutely delicious. Not for those who seek a sugary sipper. The Nonino provides just enough sweetness to tame the repasado and mezcal. I used Montelobos Espadín Joven, and Ocho Terroir Select Repasado with Angostura Orange bitters.

I liked this quite a bit. It's smoky, from the mezcal, and a bit "funky", from the reposado. The Nonino is subtle but adds some nice complexity. I used Patron Reposado & Del Maguey Vida Clasico Mezcal.

Not bad at all. This is a drink where using a reposado definitely makes a difference. The barrel notes give it a different character that to my mind works a lot better with the Nonino than the minerality of a Blanco would.

I was worried about the mezcal overpowering the nonino but nope. next time I might add another dash of bitters to undercut the sweetness a little bit, but I also don't want to disrupt the balance so maybe just a couple drops of saline
