Made with a lightly smokey mezcal. Very nice.

I didn't have agave syrup or simple, so I substituted Licor 43, but it was too acidic and sharp (might have been the light-roast African beans I had on espresso).
Adding a splash of white creme de cacao improved the texture and the flavor! Still not perfect, though. I'll have to get some agave nectar.

Finally got some good agave nectar and followed the recipe exactly—much better! The agave is critical to balance the acidity of the espresso and sharpness of the tequila!

The texture is a bit thinner for me. I added ¼ oz Crème de Cacao to the mix. It came out nice.
I'd cut back just a bit of the agave nectar
