Liked this one very much! Tart, floral, and with an added depth, thanks to the absinthe rinse. Also tried this one with about 7.5 ml of Galliano (also anise-forward) instead of absinthe, and was satisfied with the result.

did it equal parts, first time with Haymans Old Tom, don't recommend that one -the additional layer of flavor it adds strangely develops some kind of metallic feeling in the roof of my mouth.

Retried with Tanqueray 47.3% - more balanced, but still...it's like an ultraviolet color for your eyes, you see only the part of it, and the other part - just irritates your vision...hope I make myself clear. :)

In conclusion, I lean towards somewhat taming the gin, will update with results.

The first cocktail I've made with mezcal, and what a great choice - smoky and savory agave complimented by herbs and citrus. If you're short on Chartreuse ( as most of us, unfortunately) - try to sub it with Liquore Strega, worked great for me. Strega's more robust spiciness works great with mezcal IMO.
