Second time around, we don't think it hurts to add a couple of drops of Bob's Margarita Bitters. The trick is not to crowd out the Creme which, in parallel, might need to be upped ever so slightly.

Can't taste the Creme de Menthe? Well, the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Our advice is not to up the Creme...it will ruin the balance. A sophisticated Margarita.

Well, well, well...what a delightful drink.
I upped the creme de menthe to 1/6 of a shot (new in our collection and the reason for choosing this drink). I could just about discern it...but only because I knew it was there! Need to remember to turn down the sugar syrup if I up the CdM!!

This is a winner! Appearance is opaque white (from the shaking). Slight nose of tequila and mezcal as you start to sip. Terrific blend of tequila and mezcal - citrus and lightly smoke/earthiness is great. Lemon adds to the brighness. This is not a sweet cocktail (I think the lemon helps offset and dilute the relatively small amounts of syrup(s) used). And it isn't a hot/boozy drink either - very nice, and similar to a margarita. I don't get any clear expression of the creme de menthe, but I think that is intentional, as a minty taste would really detract from the tequila/mezcal harmony (maybe helping out with the brightness). Outstanding cocktail!
