There is a bar called 'La Opera' in the very downtown of Mexico City, of the time of 1910. The mezcal is certainly a new gun in the armery, since even here in Mexico was not well spread until the nineties. In the combination is exactly the time a transition for the old time of the cognac and the new revolution of mezcal. It reminds me the 1000 old cigar cocktail, sort of the same family, manly, old fashion -literal, not just the glass-. love it

One of my favorites. A bit to sweet for my taste, but the Punt e Mes can show all its greatness and complexity in this combination. While the choice of Brandy seems not to be as important, for me it must be the black Alipus for Mezcal. Try before you waste your time with Montelobos ;0) Against the sweetness: Any proposals? OP Brandy?

I suggest cutting down the Punt e Mes and the Maraschino by 1/4 oz each and to replace it with each 1/4 oz cognac and water.
Still well balanced (and powerful).

A masterclass in balance. Perhaps a bit on the sweet side for our taste but it is what it is. We advise not to be tempted to reduce the sweetness by lowering the volume of the liqueur...the balance will disappear. An elegant and subtle alternative for us is to substitute Cardamaro for the Punt e Mes.

Excellent and complex, if not a bit sweet, if you have a dry palate. In that case, you might start with 1/3 oz maraschino.

Illegal joven, Pierre Fernand 1840, Luxardo maraschino, Punt e Mes.

Pairs unbelievably well with a Terry's chocolate orange. Substituted the expressed fresh orange for charred dehydrated orange which also works well. I wonder if the previous poster suggesting notes of cocoa (dash of chocolate bitters?) might be onto something.

I tried this with an overproof Spanish brandy in place of the cognac and man, was it gorgeous! I was a bit concerned about the amount of Maraschino, but it absolutely worked with the brandy and the Mezcal. It enhanced the tobacco notes of the mezcal and brandy without actually overpowering anything. It just leaves a lovely sweet note on the finish.

The Punt E Mes is the real hero though, fantastic choice. It keeps everything in check without dominating the flavour, yet it makes itself known with a certain bitterness on the finish. Love it.

This was excellent !! I love my Montelobos mezcal….wonderfully complex…a winner!!!

Hello Simon. I prefer Armagnac to Cognac; is it a fair substitute or do you think it changes things too much?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 2y

That all depends on the Armagnac and its age. However, worth a try if you have armagnac to hand.

This recipe is delightful! I made a few adjustments, using Doc Swinson’s Alter Ego Cask Strength in place of the cognac, Del Maguey Las Milpas, and Carpano Antica instead of Punt e Mes. The flavors are well balanced and delicious but with slightly higher abv.
