This recipe was published around the holidays a few years ago and when I was seeking a special cocktail to serve at a dinner party for twelve - well, this was it. I followed the recipe exactly (with all the all the brand name ingredients). Total hit with everyone. It's my go-to drink now. I follow the recipe but salt the rim (hey I'm Texan) and serve in a martini glass. Sometimes I give it a kick with an oz of Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur (+ jalapeño simple syrup). Upscale margarita!

Too sweet. Would be better without (or with less) simple syrup

Very balanced cocktail with modern tiki vibes. This one's a hit.

This was delicious. A mix between a mezcal marg and a Mai tai. Yum!
