Mezcal's char meets Aperol's bittersweet orange here, with maraschino liqueur's almond-cherry sweetness and lime juice rounding it out. That combination of smoke, bitter orange, and sweetness makes for a genuinely well-balanced modern classic. Popularized at a Seattle bar in the 2010s, it's become a favorite among mezcal enthusiasts. A great entry point for anyone exploring mezcal beyond the Margarita and Mezcal Negroni.
