I made this with Famous Grouse Smoky Black blended whisky instead of the mezcal, and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever made. Beautiful balance of smoky, sweet, sour, and juicy.

I imagine this would be excellent as a frozen drink as well.

Late to the party on this one, but fantastic summer cocktail! I too, used agave.

Interesting! Smoky on the nose and up front, balanced out by sweet/fruity notes. I couldn't really taste the elderflower (until the final sip), so I'm not sure if my measurements weren't accurate enough, if the last-drop-taste is by design, or if it's meant to blend in and just add to the "whole" instead of being a notable "part"... I also couldn't really taste any "orange" from the GM... Will have to try it again... Tasty, nonetheless, and goes down easy. Tart, fresh raspberries from the garnish were a nice finishing touch.

I made this with a smokey infused blanco tequila and agave nectar instead of sugar syrup. The blend was perfect.

I would not have tried this if I hadn't read the comments. The smokey mezcal doesn't go in my head, but its really nice actually. I increased the lime because the mezcal I have is a little extra smokey so I thought up'ing the lime would provide a better balance. It was closer to even parts lemon/lime.

A smoky upfront cocktail with a citrus middle and a nice raspberry finish. Interesting mix of flavors that actually work well.

I used quite large and flavourful raspberries, but citruses and mezcal block them completely.
Gave nice pink colour though.

This cocktail deserves a better rating! What I do like in cocktails is complexity, and the sort of complexity that can be traced back to each of its parts (like in wine of high quality). This cocktail does just that.
