I'm not a big fan of mezcal, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The other ingredients really mellow out the smokiness of the mezcal.

This cocktail is a bit too strong for my taste. I would recommend using less mezcal or adding more fruit juice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cocktail didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was too sweet and the mezcal flavor was overpowering.
