I only had Casamigas Reposda but my oh my, what a drink!

I kind of love that. The aged tequila, elderflower and Averna all work together with the mezcal and bitters working to just accentuate the other flavours. It's weird but it 100% works.

Wonderful cocktail. Grapefruit forward on the nose with a wonderfully balanced and ever so slightly floral with a very feint smokey follow through. I would likely increase the mezcal just a bit for my own tastes. Even so when made exactly as instructed this is a lovely cocktail indeed.

Absolutely delicious. Agree with earlier commenters' positivity. We used Amaro Lucano and 4 dashes of Fee Bros grapefruit bitters. Very complex; flashes of a Manhattan but with extra smoky depth and florally-enhanced Amaro.

A lovely sipper but I think my Mezcal might have been a bit overpowering (Dangerous Don) - might try something less smoky

Even without the bitters it is beautiful.

This is a really nice balance of flavors. Not overpoweringly smokey, just enough sweetness, and a little floral pop from the elderflower. This has made my shortlist!
