Sweet 'n' Sour and bittersweet with fiery ginger spice

Whoa! This one sure does pack a punch! Fiery ginger, smokey mezcal, Campari bitterness, yet fresh. I do realise I’ve just more or less have listed the ingredients, but it’s one thing reading them and a wholly different thing tasting them together. With all the big flavours the Campari somehow becomes a supporting act for the ginger and the mezcal. The combination works really well, but it’s not for everyone.
