Mine was definitely not as pink/red as in the photo. Possibly because I made my own orgeat (which had a distinctly tan/brown appearance) + used a small batch grenadine rather than Monin. The result for me was a pale pink. Still tasty & one of my favorites of 2025.

Just made with a mildly smokey artesanal mezcal, fabulous! What to call it? A Pink Perro Pelón?

Thanks for the suggestion to use mezcal. Loved your choice of name for the resulting cocktail ;p For me, the smokiness got a little lost with the other ingredients. Might try a split spirit (50% tequila & 50% mezcal) next time.
