Wow pretty intense and true to the spirit of Mexican flavours. Rich, floral, delicate, smokey, spiced. I added a very light dusting of chili powder in place of chili oil. Superbly well balanced.

I went 1/2 mezcal 1/2 tequila, as I am not fond of straight mezcal drinks. Even so, didn’t care for this one. To each his own.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is "vermouth amaro"?

It's an amaro based on vermouth wine rather than a neutral spirit.

I made it with Tequila as my wife doesn't like Mezcal, worked pretty well
