Not sure, it might! Good suggestion on a little bit of spice, I bet that would add a great dimension!

I love that swizzle! Too bad chartreuse is so hard to come by now. Still working through old bottles?
I found it to be pretty well balanced! Probably depends a bit on how wild your mezcal is, too. This one is pretty smoky, which helps.
I hadn’t heard of it until I got a tiki cocktail book; it comes up a lot in that context! It’s a super syrupy, sweet, warm spiced liqueur. It’s really quite delicious!
What in the world! I love this idea, it reminds me of something I saw in an Aviary book with popcorn-infused whiskey.
I find that name to be write funny. Looks good!
That looks great, regardless of the color!
This one is saved for next time I get port; it looks delicious!
The bitters are so good. It gives a drink some heat, but somehow not the same spice as some of the other spicy bitters on the market (some tiki ones, I have a habanero one that’s pretty good). It’s more warm and full-bodied I think.
Aside: I love mapo tofu. It’s one of my go to crowd pleaser recipes, and I can make it as hot as I please (I do not live in a spice tolerant place 😩)
I didn’t make the bitters, but I’d imagine you could soak roughly cracked peppercorns in some neutral high-proof spirit for a week and end up with something tasty! Here’s what I was using: https://www.dashfire.us/cocktailbitters

Oh wow, I just eeked in there with my Mai Tai! And it goes without saying that you took three of the top 5 spots… kudos!
Thanks for the list.
