This was well thought out, I had Illegal Mezcal and Amontillado Sherry, the honey worked great with the Strega and lemon juice and the 4 drops of hot sauce and salt grains worded magic. The sage accented the smokiness of the Mezcal. I thoroughly enjoyed it...Salute'
Very solid drink, but I would recommend adjusting appropriately based on the character of your mezcal. A full 1.5 Oz of Del Maguey Vida really took over the drink, masking the subtler Strega and sherry elements. I think it would have benefited from splitting that base with a blanco tequila. With the less forward Dos Hombres, however, the modifiers came through more clearly, and produced a more harmonious drink.
