Everything plays well together! Just a hint of smoke and cherry, definitely add to my regular rotation

Very good! Complex!! I recommend Mezcla Encantado for mixing, It is a light smoky mezcal that allows other ingredientes to shine!!

What I love about this version is that the ingredients all play so nicely together…until you sit and concentrate and look for one ingredient or another, this cocktail is pure harmony. LOVE IT and agree with the posters before me saying it’s way better than the Last Word itself.

Damn. Great drink

Gosh this one is good. I much prefer this to a regular Last Word! Surprised how well the mezcal integrates with the other ingredients as it can often be quite dominant.

After we tried the Written Word, with Cointreau in place of Luxardo, we applied that switch to the Closing Argument with great success. You still get the lime taste without the “sting” lime juice can have sometimes.

This really is becoming one of my top
five cocktails. I used Dos Hombres mezcal (the one owned by the two Breaking Bad stars - it’s very good). I just love the sour/smoky/herby combination. Fabulous drink. I can’t think that any but the most serious cocktail bars would stock all these ingredients so it’s just as well I do!

Outstanding. I’ve now tried this with San Cosme and a smokier Siete Misterios and on balance I prefer it more Smokey.
