History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2016 by Stephen Wicker at the Raleigh Bar in Miami Beach, Florida. Stephen's original recipe calls for twice as much ginger syrup, but the ginger syrup he uses is housemade with a 1:1 concentration.
Review:
Smoky, tangy and complex with layers of flavour, although happily mezcal dominates. (This cocktail also works well strained over ice in an old-fashioned glass.)
