Very nice. I often pull back the amount of syrup (or, if one ingredient lends sweetness, skip it entirely) as my tastes seem to run a bit dryer than Simon's (though I do appreciate the balancing effect of the sweetener more than I used to, thanks in large part to this site), but I'm glad I kept it in for this drink. Necessary. Delicious.

This is nice! Mezcal is balanced. Just enough sweetness and citrus coming through. Like Giulio mentioned, this is an interesting alternative to a margarita; maybe if you don't have triple sec on hand? Nice option, though!

Garnish says lime wedge, but photo shows lime twist.

This is nice, but you must like the smoky taste of mezcal. Not a fan of smoky, it was OK. However, I did find the cocktail very balanced and flavourful. Just be prepared for the smoky which, due to my autism, is not a pleasant flavour, but most who like mezcal will like this.

I have to still try this exact recipe, but I recently made a version of this (albeit with only lime juice and minus the mezcal) and I think I prefer it to the Margarita. I will have to do a side-by-side to confirm this suspicion though.
