History:
Based on a nightcap shot made early in 2020 by Jack McGarry at The Dead Rabbit in Manhattan for Giuseppe Gallo, Italicus Rosolio's founder. This inspired Giuseppe to develop the Mezcalicus, which has found its way onto drink menus across America's southern states.
Review:
A mezcal-based Margarita riff with bergamot liqueur replacing triple sec orange liqueur.
