Absolutely loved this. Although I lacked a peated whisky (subbed Black Bush), the mezcal provided some smoke (Banhez Ensamble) and together a unique sour what with lime and the bitters. Subtle Angostura and whatever the
celery brings to the table, it works!

Found another spec on Reddit, which in my mind, is a bit more balanced.
1oz Laphroaig
1oz Mezcal
.75oz Orgeat
.75oz Lime juice
2 dasher celery bitters
1 dash angostura

And I always do a few drops of saline in my drinks. Absolutely delicious

That would work with a 1:1 orgeat, but too sweet with a 2:1 orgeat.

You list Allergens but do not include the Gluten one??

Gluten? What ingredient listed has gluten in it?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 1y

We do list gluten as one of the 14 allergens, but as Michael says, gluten is not in any of the ingredients above. Some bottles of vodka etc., say they are gluten-free, but all vodkas and distilled spirits are gluten-free.
