Aahh, this is delightful! I used a lighter less smokey joven mezcal and all the ingredients balanced gracefully. Like biting into a fresh floral fruity pear whilst simultaniously sipping on a Perfectly Straight Blood and Sand. Well not exactly but there is some sort of similarity in the interplay between the fruity/floral, smokey; and earthy vermouth. Plus the sour. Definitely going in my favorites!
Just made this drink when I found a recipe randomly on reddit and matches this one... First ever cocktail I've made that looks ugly as sin, but oh my so delicious. Love it
I also tried this template and it was not either:
30 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico mezcal
30 ml Elderflower liqueur
15 ml Antico Vermouth
15 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
