Tommi's Cocktail
A delicately bittersweet aperitif cocktail that heroes mezcal complexity

I'm a fan of all the ingredients individually but I found this one cloying and unpleasantly medicinal. Adding bitters and reducing the maraschino would probably be a good start.

When made with good ice the original recipe (with 15ml (½oz) maraschino liqueur is dried by spiritous spice. However, dilution (perhaps due to wet ice) sweetens the cocktail. Make the original with good ice and it’s balanced but perhaps overly punchy. Hence, I’ve reduced the maraschino and added a splash of water to dilute, reduce sugar and alcohol.
