Quite liked this. Can't wait to try it with a more assertive mezcal (think dumpster fire in a good way) and maybe Aperol/Campari split. Also curious about the drier more punchy version. Refreshingly not sour.
Did try this again with a medium smokey mezcal and a Campari/Aperal split. Found it to be well balanced. Still slightly syrupy. Can't say it's an improvement over the original, but it certainly works. Now I'm thinking Campari/ oraange curaƧao 50/50? Or maybe a carbonator for some acidity?
