Love this drink. Love the name (I am also John in California). It is a perfect marriage of ingredients blending to form a slightly tart cocktail. Each ingredient shines at some point and then the next flavour comes.
Great alternative to the traditional tequila cocktails. Going on my favourites.

This is quite a mouthful - first hit is all that lemon but tempered with the honey smooth and slight sweetness (honey may vary).
After a while the smoky mezcal kicks in and then you realise its all gone and you need another.
