This is an unexpected find.
I wanted to use up some fresh pineapple juice, and I was in the mood for mezcal -- and now I can't get the Doors out of my head. The mezcal and Rhum Clement Blanc seemed like strange bedfellows, but the other ingredients work to bring these two together beautifully. The mezcal is present, but it does not overpower. The grassy agricole is perfect -- a molasses-based rum might have over-sweetened things. And the little plastic monkey...well, need I say more?
