Looking over the liqueur and syrup-dominated recipe, this mezcal-based Margarita meets the Last Word may appear to be sweet. However, the spec is deceiving...
Surprisingly good. A lot going on, but still a smooth, well balanced harmony of flavors. I used small hand foods orgeat which might have made it a bit dryer than spec, but I don't think it suffered much for it. Even the basil leaf garnish is spot on, if I make it again I might use a small sprig and clip it to the glass, as I found myself missing the basil aroma after the leaf eventually submerged itself in the cocktail.
Not to mention, a rather attractive cocktail, with a bright, almost florescent, slightly greenish yellow color.
