Mexcal is primary, with Lucano adding some flavor and stretching out the smoke. The maraschino is a distant third in importance, unusual for for the strong flavors of maraschino. Very nice mezcal cocktail - pick a mezcal you like! I wish I had read the comments first - chocolate and/or black walnut bitters might have been interesting.

Excellent - the Lucano, Cardamaro and bitters are the keys to the flavor, bringing a depth of moderate earthy herbal, slight spice and slight bitter, with the tequila acting to add a bit of bright citrus. I really enjoyed this, and how it transformed a blanco tequila into something much more complex.

Mezcal brings smoke and earthy citrus, the hot sauce gives a touch of heat, and the lime is a natural with the smoky heat and lime. The relatively mild mannered yellow chartreuse is far in the background. I didn't care for the orgeat - I may like this cocktail with simple syrup (and maybe a use a bit less).

Rum, lime and curacao (and sweetener) - a dependably delicious combo. IDK that I could tell I was tasting cinnamon simple syrup, but the drink overall had nice rum flavor with prominent lime/citrus background, on a pleasantly sweet base. Very nice!
