Choice of peated whisky might require a tweak in the proportions, but it’s a nice drink.

This drink is quite a bit better than I expected. Apple and absinthe generally go well together, but I was surprised by how well the tea spice from the punsch provides depth (I shouldn’t have been. All these flavors go together). My punsch is rather dry, so I needed a wee dash of syrup to bring it all together. Incredibly complex. Delicious!

I really like this drink, but it doesn’t need the extra sugar from the agave. In spite of its origins, I prefer to use Bergamatto liqueur rather than Italicus for most mezcals. The olive garnish is brilliant!

Fantastic aperitif (Made with St Raphael Quinquina instead of the two aromatized wines listed)
