Following Jason Clapham's advice, but I accidentally added 10ml of jalapeño-infused tequila to the original formula which adds a whole new dimension. Definitely 'beefed it up'!

I topped this with Australian smoke bitters, and it was amazing!

The depth of flavour of this cocktail is incredible. Will make again.

Tried this with Malibu last night; it definitely works, although probably ended up sweeter, smoother on the tongue and less alcoholic than this recipe (which asks for 40% coconut rum and Malibu is 20%).

3 main ingredients fit strangely well together, quite unexpectedly. But consider this is an absolutely an AFTER dinner.

Agreed - this is a good way of easing your way into a bottle of mescal.

I preferred it with a split base, 15ml tequila & 15ml mescal, to beef it up a little.

My nephew brought me a bottle back from Mexico, no idea what to do with it until I saw this recipe. A smokey, quite unique tasting cocktail, everyone I've made it for have really enjoyed it.
