Thank you for the recipe Simon. For me the Mezcals smoke is a bit overpowering the melon and orange notes. It could be worth a try to reduce/omit Mezcal.

Being perhaps a bit passe and un-cool , we love green melon liqueur cocktails. With this one, we substitute lime for the lemon juice and increase its volume by 7.5ml to 22.5ml. We also add 7.5ml Agave syrup. And we use dry Curacao as the triple sec. Perhaps this makes it a kissing cousin of the Bitter Margarita.

I love a japanese slipper but it is quite sweet and sherbety. This is much more subtle, the melon is just coming through the tequila and mezcal. We did wonder if a little more melon or citrus might be needed but perhaps that would loose the subtle exotic interest.
