That's not to say that 1/2 a spoon of mezcal wasn't a welcome and delicious addition.

Inspired by the quite booze-heavy margarita recipe of the IBA, I tried those proportions for the toreador cocktail (10-4-2 in parts that is, not ounces...). I found that very, very good. A great drink that can be tweaked and improvised upon. My favourite is still with mezcal rather than tequila. The quite fruity and only moderately

Very good cocktail, with mezcal it was even better.
