I'm not a fan of mezcal, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The margarita is delicious and the smokiness of the mezcal is subtle but noticeable.

This margarita is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll use less mezcal next time.

This margarita is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The flavor is well-balanced and the smokiness of the mezcal is a nice touch.

I'm not usually a fan of mezcal, but this margarita changed my mind. The smokiness of the mezcal pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the orange liqueur and the sourness of the lime juice.
