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.

This is interesting John. My first thought was to rebalance the mezcal-tequila as I prefer lighter smokey notes. However it does indeed lesson if you have the will power to sip more slowly… I do prefer it to the Toreador.
