Review

Mezcal lends a lightly smoky note to this riff on the classic Tuxedo. This boozy Martini-esque cocktail makes for a great aperitif.

I might have to play around with this one. It’s good, but I feel like the floral notes should be accentuated even more

Subtle, complex, exceptional. I used Apaluz from Durango, not super smokey and it works well here! Loved the Strega Mist!

Great cocktail, but I prefer it with Fidencio mezcal and the slightly less floral, more salinated bianco vermouth. It’s the atomized Strega (Curandero due to the mezcal???) that really puts this cocktail over the top though.

Not for me. Too sweet and a little medicinal.
