I'm not entirely sure why, but I feel like this drink would be better made with clarified (or otherwise de-pulped) lime juice and done as a stirred drink for textural reasons, although I don't actually have the patience to test that. It's excellent either way, though.
OK I thought the recent realisation that, Oh shit I love sherry now, was crazy enough... the mezcal combo here has blown my tiny little mind. Just gorgeous.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this drink. Perfect balance of sweet and sour notes. A subtle smoke from the mezcal, whose more savory facet works in tandem with the sherry. Highly enjoyable.
Agreed, Lee. I don't know what the cocktail is in photo but looks nothing like a Call Mexico - should be pale golden rather than deep bronze. I'll make for Dan to reshoot ASAP. (Happy I made to check the colour as a very tasty cocktail!)
