Made this with Cimarron Reposado, Pierre Ferrand Curacao, Dolin Dry, and Del Maguey Vida Clasico mezcal. Interesting option in the vein of a "dry martini"! Expected tequila/mezcal notes are well-balanced by the vermouth and curacao without being too sweet.

Very unique for how simple it is. The small amount of Mezcal makes a big impact and adds complexity.

Used El Jimador reposado, Pierre Ferrand dry Curacao, Noilly Prat extra dry, and 7 Misterios blanco mezcal. One of those rare combos that's darn near perfection. (24 Jun 2023, 7:03a)

Added the 1 barspoon of Wray and Nephew overproof rum. Does add a nice kick to a very flavourful cocktail. Light smoky hints which is not overwhelming (as I am not a smoky taste person). Would definitely have again.

I just made this with equal parts mezcal, Cointreau, and Lillet Blanc, and it slays. Wowza!
