Used agave syrup instead of sugar. Didn't have blood orange, so used freshly squeezed ruby grapefruit juice instead. Didn't have tequila añejo, so went for Mezcal only.
Smoking, fruity and pink!

So in the end you substituted 3 out of 7 ingredients? Might as well call it a different cocktail

Haha, Albert! Yes you could say it's a riff and a half! But the result is in the same, uhm... spirit.
