I made a slight adjustment and split the base between about 10ml tequila blanco and 12.5ml Mezcal, more to hoard my Mezcal than to reduce the smokiness and I have to say, I was very pleased with the result. The smokiness was definitely still there but maybe a little more subtle, which allowed the elderflower to assert itself a bit more.
I have to say, this beautifully balanced cocktail is giving my no. 1 favourite, the Margarita, a run for its money! I love all the individual elements but the whole is much greater. 👌
Tried this with siete misterios mezcal , I found that the smoky taste was enjoyable but hidding the other tastes, didn't feel the elderflower liqueur for instance. Rated 4/5, recommended.
Tried & liked, very very much. I don’t have yellow chartreuse but I do have elderflower liqueur and I was so happy reading about this riff on the naked & famous. Made it as soon as possible and I am sipping it right now. It is gorgeous!
