I guess cinnamon is a spice so spicy? However, I have amended to, "Sweet, tropical fruitiness is offset by the cinnamon-spiced rim."

That makes more sense. I will try this, mostly so I can put my little plastic monkeys to use for decoration. Cheers!

Not being a fan of the smoky taste of mezcal, we lowered the amount of mezcal and substituted anejo tequila for the remainder. Used the rum. Very nice. The hint of smoky is fine, but for me it would have been overpowering using the full amount of mezcal. Very nice cocktail. It does have a mai tai flavours with a hint of tequila.

I totally agree, 1/2 oz of Mezcal is plenty, mixed with a nice reposado tequila. Anejo not needed.
