Really delicious as is but we couldn't resist splitting the base spirit 45ml Tequila and 15ml Mezcal, and adding a splash of Ferrand Dry Curacao. Complicates preparation and unbalances things slightly but, on the upside, enhances complexity and emboldens things.

This is quite good. The tequila definitely comes through (as it should, at a full 2 oz), as does the lime. Orgeat and ginger combine to provide balancing sweetness and a background of almond and spice, but this is very much a tequila and lime forward drink.
