I had to adjust the recipe, but i love the basis for this drink! My palette seems to be particularly sensitive to sours (I typically reduce the lemon or lime component by half). If you have similar tastes, try:
1.5 oz mezcal
.66 oz Aperol
.5 oz. ginger syrup
.25 oz. lime
.5 oz. pineapple juice
.25 oz. pisco (I find it a fantastic substitute for saline)
Any way you cut it: Carsten hit the nail on the head--this drink has everything!

I found the recipe too sweet for my pallette, but by adjusting it to 1 tequila: 1 Aperol: 1/2 cherry, 1/2 lime, with the mezcal float, it was nailing it on all fronts.
