Made with Bozal Cenizo and garnished with expressed orange peel. Good as is, but for experimentation, will try bumping up the mezcal .25 oz and add chocolate bitters as suggested in other comments.

I guess my Ojo de Dios is smokier than the Del Maguey as it smothered the other flavours.

A pretty interesting cocktail - upon tasting, I couldn't shake that this is a mezcal Last Word/Closing Argument without the citrus, leaning towards the profile of an Old Fashioned-style of drink. I'd fully expect that as a template, you can experiment with just about any amaro out there to substitute the Lucano to create vastly different drinks. I also do agree that 1 dash of any bitters probably helps this cocktail out a lot if a more delicate amaro is chosen.

Fantastic combination, I added a dash of Scrappy's Chocolate Bitters and Regan's Orange Bitters, finishes it off nicely.

No Lucano so did 2 parts Averna to 1 part Suze, quite enjoyable.

Hmmm, I used Del Maguey’s Vida Clásico, but the Lucano’s sweetness totally overwhelmed the Mezcal’s smokiness.

I’ll give a milder amaro a try, because this drink has everything I normally like.

Hi, I don't have Lucano, could I substitute with Montenegro or Averna?

I have Doc Herson’s amaro not Lucano amaro. Anyone know if this would work well in this cocktail and be a good substitute? Thanks.
