Thank you for your suggestion, John!
I had the advertised Vida Del Maguey mezcal, which is quite smokey. Felt I had to go closer to a mezcal 1 to Cynar 1.5+.
Loved your suggestion at that ratio.

Even more lime juice? Maybe it's because I live in Australia where fresh juicy limes are plentiful, but I found 5/6 oz lime was a little too sour/tart.
Agree as well. Would go as far as a split of 1 oz Reposado to 0.5 oz Mezcal.
Maybe call it a Smoking Italian Margarita ?

In line with earlier suggestions, added half a tea spoon of olive brine and 10 ml or so of gin.
