A characterful bittersweet aperitivo or digestive. A wisp of mezcal sits brilliantly with the London dry gin base

Read the reviews after I'd had the cocktail. I liked it well enough. Nice spiciness from the Mezcal, bitter, botanicals, and I'd almost would have went with grapefruit peel over orange. In the end...meh. It's OK. I'd be inclined to make a riff with the 1.5 oz to be Rye, and the .5 oz an Islay Scotch. Hmm.. Cocktails are just fun
