As a substitute for the brown sugar syrup, I did an appropriately reduced portion of agave syrup and a bit of molasses and this drink turned out great.

Very delicious

Not bad but definitely not really good. As a mezcal lover in the middle of a hot summer, I probably expected too much from this drink, but experienced a rather bland taste from it. Rated 3/5.

I love the name for this cocktail because false moves might bite you. Main cautionary note: build with crushed ice. With crushed ice, creamy notes step out and pineapple thins to a crisp refreshing tartness. Using cube/tube ice, it's a bit on a concentrated iodine bomb that doesn't let the ingredients express themselves. Absinthe is doing work here, doesn't step out (I used Pernod). Tasty mezcal gateway drink, just requires some precision... I would suggest a 10oz or so glass.

This looks similar to the Vinegaroon they used to make at Contigo, in Austin. Mescal rinsed glass, tequila, pineapple-sage shrub, dash of absinthe, fresh lemon juice. Important to get the shrub right for that drink! But both are refreshing in hot weather.
