Review

With gin, my go-to stirred Dry Martini recipe is five-to-one, but that's way too much when using mezcal – a Fifty-Fifty Martini is more befitting. Rather than straight-up, I also prefer my Mezcal Martinis on-the-rock(s).

Used a pink grapefruit slice for garnish. Dry at first and sweeter on the finish. Grew on me as I drunk it.

Slightly dry for me but not bad. Afraid I didn’t have a caperverry sorry.

Hmm...this is interesting, an aquired taste might I dare say? And I certainly aquired a taste for it a few sips in. Very dry and perhaps savory with quite a complex combination of flavors. Thanks Simon!
