  • This cocktail is an interesting take on a Manhattan, and I applaud those who try to introduce Mezcal to people. But this cocktail is not well-balanced at all. It's not repulsive, but it's not something I was particularly wowed by either. I finished it, but I won't be making it again.

  • I didn't care much for this as written. a dash of orange bitters improved it immensely.
