1.5 oz rye (Emerald Giant overproof)
0.5oz each of mezcal, Aperol, and Ancho Reyes (rojo)
1 oz lemon juice
Squirt of agave
Shake all with ice, and I would say serve up in a coupe but it’s summer, still 90f at 19:00. So I’m having it on ice, and just enjoying the hot weather.
Variation on a Devil’s Soul. It would benefit from a float of the Heirloom Pineapple Amaro (and being served up), but had enough oddball ingredients I didn’t want to add another. But if you have it, go for it.
Second round I used scotch and liked that better. How was it with the Verde?
Good but overpowered. I’ve never had Rojo to compare, but the Verde is strong stuff. I’ll drop it to half next time.
