I don't believe it holds up though, the mezcal and gin need a bridge to the Amaro and Cassis. My first instinct is a citrus, but not lemon or lime. Maybe fresh orange? Mint also seems like it would complement this grouping if muddled before the addition of the cassis and Amaro.
It's a good idea, but I think it needs workshop-ing.
Cheers!
