Had side by side with Naked and Famous and prefer this one, the three alcohols work together better with a sweet agave taste in the front and a smoky bitter citrus mix in the aftertaste.
Depends highly on the mezcal I think. Should be as smokey as possible. Tried it with Del Maguey Vida Classic and thought it was a bit lackluster. Think this needs balancing. More dilution + upping the mezcal does work well for me.
Made it with Ojo de Tigre, it is delicious, refreshing and well balanced, but I think it would be event better with more smokiness so consider adding 1/2 mezcal or swapping for a smokier one.
Oh yeah, this is good. Love the smoky Mezcal combining with the Aperol and the Maraschino, which on paper shouldn’t work but it does. Some of the variations below sound interesting so I’ll be trying them.
