Slightly similar to the Death & Co. version, where the split is between white and dry vermouth, alongside a little less lemon. It is very well balanced in that version.

Tried the original after seeing it on Reddit in a discussion about the worst bitter cocktail. I agree with that. Too dry and bitter, very one note.

Crazily delicious. My favourite Mezcal cocktail by far. It's simultaneously simple and complex. Bright citrus from both lime and the orange/grapefruit from the aperitif (I did use Select Aperitif cut with simple syrup), herbal honeyed sweetness from the Yellow Chartreuse, adorned by smoke, earth and even a very slight meatiness from the Mezcal (I used Del Maguey San Luis del Rio).

I guess it's a drink to never touch for a long while then. I have no access to Kina l'Aero d'Or or Bonal. Only Lillet Blanc, Cocchi Americano Bianco and Caperitif. I am not in the West, so I cannot get them through any other channels also.
