Based on Asher’s suggestion I tried this with mezcal and I like it! Adds a nice Smokey dimension. 22.5ml each Campari, lime juice, green chartreuse and mezcal, 5ml sugar (we like things sharp and bitter), pinch of salt. Perhaps ‘Amor y asesinato del puebla’ as I used Del Maguey Puebla?

I like that idea - did you try it?

This and the well oiled mai tai are my go to mai tai recipes, though I prefer them both served without the crushed ice. I like my cocktails strong and tasty and not too diluted. I’m also too lazy to make the crushed ice and the welsh weather rarely requires it!

As ‘love and murder’ is on my favourite list I was fairly sure we’d like this, and we did! Similar to my comments for that, this has the last word gin, lime and chartreuse with a lovely balancing dose of bitter. Being a mezcal fan we also took Simon’s advice and after tasting added some mezcal for an extra dimension of flavour.
