Delightful cocktail. It was perfectly balanced with no one ingredient overpowering another. Would definitely make again. Being that I am not a big fan of anything overly smoky, I would adjust the mezcal and tequilla for may tastes, but if you like smoky it is great.

Once it is allowed to sit and breathe, the smoky flavour does lessen. Thank you Simon.

Tart crisp and refreshing. Apricot, lime and orangy Aperol pair well together. Out of tequila so I used a mildly smokey mezcal, Apaluz (agave durangensis) from Durango for both base spirits. Am thinking Rothman & Winter is not as sweet as Luxardo Apricot? Might try this again with 2.5ml agave syrup.

Is this a rocks drink or an up drink? It sounds great, however.

Hi Adam. I designed it to be served over ice as per photo. I've corrected the offending sentence in How to.

Lovely...we think that a few drops of Margarita bitters don't go astray here. And rather than simply serving in a chilled glass (as per the specs here) we throw in a block of ice.
