I can’t quite figure out what I think about this very bizarre but not unpleasant cocktail. I like it?

Felt exactly the same. Planning to try one that just omits the mezcal.

I made a small portion of this as written, and loved it. But I wanted something lighter than gin tonight (and to work through that open bottle of fino sherry), so I tried a "reverse" version of this and it was fab... 120ml of fino sherry, 15ml lemon, 10ml simple syrup, just a bar spoon of gin for the flavour, and a couple dashes of orange bitters. Nice if you're in the mood for something slightly less dry.

Definitely needs to be rye - bourbon would be too sweet - but a nice option for a lower ABV sipper.
